Memento mori
Tethered to life like silence
Faint in the air like violets
And to an ocean every stream
Every bird a treetop leap
Promise my tethers tieless
Fate as my only guidance
It's violence
I ruminate so I may have peace
Dance with the grave
Dust the mantelpiece
Damned by the sand grains dropping
To choose feels mocking
Take me from a life that I can shoulder
Once I've spread my wings and grown much older
Let my legacy be met with kindness
Cherish every moment in my blindness
Memento mori
Hanging to life fragile as a dream
Damned by the sand grains dropping
To choose feels mocking
Take me from a life that I can shoulder
Once I've spread my wings and grown much older
Promise my tethers tieless
Fate as my only guidance
It's violence
