Spirit Was

I'm at a wake And drawing a geometric shape You slept on the train But I've been up for days You look the same But half dead and acting your age I was embraced, asphyxiated And taking on my shape I feel like a sketch of a perfect circle "Light still leaks in," A victim of hands gone idle "Black rings in the water," An ever burning candle "I wrote your name in the dust Where the spirit was!" All the ones you know you love Go right back where they started from All my gardens back to dust Staring back up at the sun "Please, please, please, please Let me look away." "Please, please, please, please Let me look away." You look the same But half dead and acting your age I was embraced, asphyxiated And taking on my shape I feel like a sketch of a perfect circle "Light still leaks in," A victim of hands gone idle "Black rings in the water," An ever burning candle "I wrote your name in the dust Where the spirit was!"
