Splendid Isolation

When all of the swallows pass me by
They still make summer just a memory
You're still the road where I was led
I think you always were, I think you always were.

And so you pound upon the door until you break
As if your will alone could be enough
But your will is a thousand miles away.

Here on the giants shoulder
The eye of the endless wave
The light is aglow and you're alone.

I know there's always be a stowaway
In my head is the burden like a landslide.

Purple clover
Moon faced queen
Crimson's name is legion
If the price is right.

Tell me one more time
Like you used to do
Though the shadow is large
Light will show the truth
Who you used to be
When I held your hand
Why did I comply?
If I did not believe.

And all it took was all I could make it.

So if your memory serves you well
You may remember what you have done
You call on me to talk to them
And later question why I'm gone
Well every plan you've had has failed
There is nothing more to say
Your judgements made by someone else
Did their wisdom serve you well?

Absence is fire
Hearts are whitest coal
Embers ghosts that die within
The dream is exploding
Letters never read
Stuck in our night of waiting.

Welded in the signs
Carved in bone
Written in the frozen mountain
Pouring from the sky
Clawing at the earth
Everywhere I looked I could see them.

Purple clover
Moon faced queen
Crimson's name is legion
If the price is right.
