Lone Lust

It’s been said
O, by that chorus of vultures above
To run toward your fears
Kicking and screaming you were down on the tracks
In this room facing the glass this reflection
A memory entombed as a hologram of your youth
And an echo between the two

I’ll die a lonely fool
I’ll die a lonely fool

I have seen the man in his suit as he stares
He haunts me aware of this delusional little fool
So elusive is his flesh and bone

I’ll die a lonely fool
I’ll die a lonely fool

I’ve bled from my gums singing songs in my sleep
I’ve hidden from youth, seen my mother grow weak
I’ve powdered the walls with the dust from your skin
As I’ve murdered my mind
I’ve lied to be loved

I’ll die a lonely fool
I’ll die a lonely fool
