lyrics

Dark is the amber round my agency.
Lost are the records of my injury.
Too sweet the savor of my bitter me.
But what of that?
I know the church from the chat.
And round me the good times shall gather
When finally I walk with my father.

Unmet the promise of my policy.
Disdain the quarry of my dignity.
My furnace feeds upon the weeping tree.
But I don’t care.
To be is not to beware.
And anarchy shall be my brother
When finally I dream for my father.

False are the factors of my jealousy.
Self-fed the wellsprings of my agony.
Each night I burn myself in ecstasy.
But damn it all.
Ya can’t get up til ya fall.
And lies shall be dear to the lover
When finally I sleep with my father.

But is this longing just a sign
Of all the meaning he’s denied?
Must you inveigle his distant glare
To see the loss you know is there?

Sick is the science of my remedy.
My life but handicaps my progeny.
How hollow rings my self-sung victory.
Yet so, I say.
Rome is built every day.
And there shall be ruins to discover
When finally I die for my father.

As I look out on what’s inside of me,
I see the future’s what it used to be,
And I am stuck in opportunity.
What then to do
When memorials rust with the dew?
O all shall be one with the other
When finally I rise as my father.
