Stonefish

With tin cans and bottled youth Walking, decaying Don't let the solace fool you with This ration offered A consolation for your troubles It's just a future memory lost to me The fates allowed me to wander A stonefish To depths that no one knows Is it the ground I cling to That guides me Or takes me off my course? You're silent Speak to me The dark side of summer's swell The misguided talents of A hopeless romantic half his age And I wake in a violent fever The lone child in an ever-changing world Are you a siren, a seeker To guide me or take me off my course? Your silence speaks to me I rage inside Until I'm sickened Just name your price And I'll pay it off Until I'm gone I dreamt in color I walked through the valley's gaze The desert, it lives and dies the same And it's cause to suffer The heat searing down my neck A slow death that you can barely see And I wake in a violent fever The lone child in an ever-changing world Are you a siren, a seeker To guide me or take me off my course? I want to live beside you Not face down Shackled at my feet When silence speaks to me
