So just be true...
Please...
And for the death of you
Get on your knees
And beg for thunder
If it eases
All your desert lips
From going under...
And if it means the death of you -
The very final breath of you
Do not recede
Onto the shelf you keep your masks on.
No... take what's left of you
And throw me every ember that defines the best of you.
Bare your heart.
Shed your soul unclothed
And leave it in a lone plateau
To gather winds where no one goes.
To lean on nothing but what blows across the canyon
At the time...
Chime... Chime... your little requiems divine
And look for signs that may not come.
But know you faced your honest tongue
Directly to the sun.
And how it warmed your buds
And all the truth and love
Within your verse
Would finally come.
For once... For once...
You crawled out from your rock
And cocked your passion gun.
Locked and loaded -
Blasting bullet holes through skies
Since then eroded
At your lullaby...
