Feels like I'm wearing out Last warmth of organ-song A bath-tub left at night Will empty out by dawn Feels like I'm thinner now As long as I still breath In desperation Oh won't you comfort me A time for putting down To put down childish toys A candle left at night will crackle into noise My heart's asleep the wheel My body's grown numb You led me to your bed My clothes are soaking wet Rest now and I'll carry you back home To all the quiet days: every lost hope, every mistake Every word meant but never said You can rest here While I carry you, dust off your frail frame Then run you'll run into open arms yet The lasting regret, the last of your fight The last of your line And I still tried In the face of laughing Gods Steep climbs and laughable odds Back through open fields And streams you never saw To stony city haze And back through the thaw To the place where the roads don't reach Beyond the span of animal The range of the preacher My iniquities I never dreamed that I would see summer lights Cast our profiles so vitally Limp on small one The finish line is nearing reach One day you'll be thanking me Can you feel it Can you feel it like a cry Through the iron-cold sky Yea, there's a coldness here There's a coldness here Eating into the inside Just me with the black eyes And an aching quiet From every corner Every view of the outside A sinking quiet in every room Of this sinking house I'll never be free if I'm not free now To lay you back down finally In the pale nativity In summer bluster Where I remember you to your Sisters in these stolen years And I can feel it, feel the beat of your heart still Limp no more You'll be thanking me one day Though you don't know it now One day you'll be thanking me Where's my clearing of the sky Where's my parting of the tide Even the most chilling of wind might kindle a fire inside Where's my freedom from this cage Freedom from this weary eye O tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow and I Glinting far in dimming light The closing of the arc This rolling dark No family at the bedside In my empire whole No stirring grove Even as landscapes tail away All that sound and fury wrought Rests not where peace lays. Oh please release me Glinting far in dimming light The closing of the arc This rolling dark No family at the bedside In my empire whole No stirring grove Even as landscapes tail away All that sound and fury wrought Rests not where peace lays Please release me Where's my clearing of the sky Where's my parting of the tide A life in sin, no beggar's gin to balm an ache inside Where's my freedom from this cage Freedom from my brother's eyes O tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow and I A place for all A calm in grace's place falls A pain to yield Fall the righteous, there's a lightness here For the lightless, falling without feel Is without fear Recoil from ash and bone and oil Atop towers of light where God's hammer broke the sky My waking side, my waking side Nothing gets past it, nothing slips my mind I swear on my life, swear on my pride I swear on the comfort here that I designed My waking mind, my waking mind Can't find a fault in my waking mind I swear it's the truth, I swear it's my pride Don't cry for me, no, I'm feeling fine My naked mind My naked mind Half-focused pictures thread these days gone by Man's fallen chorus rages and recites As we lose we cry at least we tried
