Undo You

At life’s four-way stop The tinge in your shadow drops Fate pulls you down for the count With broken promises to amount Time seal our ways To the heart of our hiding place When all our lifelines have been crossed Some scars can never heal from what we lost To fail the test and depart the strong Is to light the way where you have gone For only our funerals to come A requiem, in death a song And it seems to be that consistency Is not what lingers ahead But a virtue of the dead One of these days hours pass yet the night stays When your spirit won’t turn anew The world shuts down with no goodbye to undo you Breathing, lifeless, we are not afraid to die Breathe in life’s less – you’re afraid not to live Breathing, lifeless, we are not afraid to die Breathe in life’s less – you’re afraid not to live To fail the test and depart the strong Is to light the way where you have gone For only our funerals to come A requiem, in death a song
