A careless leper

Too comfortable

In his own world

To notice

The older wounds

Have new infections

With new intentions

Darkness settled in

Behind me

Tapped me on the

Shoulder singing

Shivers to my spine

From the corners

Of my mind

I've been wanting to

Remind you

Of everything

You've left behind

And wouldn't you

Shouldn't you

Remember me

Should you forget

I haven't yet

Remember when we

Almost stepped right off

Between the two heavens

One above and one below

One last flight

All stars and city lights

One last goodbye

One last goodbye

She's there

When I'm alone

And she always

Seems to know

The stories

That'll take me

Back to where my

Comforts sleep

A caress with

Velvet paws

That hide her

Sharpened claws

Along the walls that

Time has built high

Searching for the blemishes

And I know

She's breathing murder

That it is folly to

Endure her

But there is sweetness

In her whisper

When you've had enough

I'll be waiting

Wouldn't you

Shouldn't you

Remember me

Should you forget

I haven't yet

You know that we can

Always step right off

Between the two heavens

One above and one below

One last flight

All stars and city lights

One last goodbye

One last goodbye

I've never known

A life without her

At every turn

She's there

Her comfort I despise

But there's a

Coward in me

Fearing any

Changes for the trial

Hopeless is

A hideaway

Familiar escape

I've never known

A life without her

At every turn

She's there

Yesterday's a siren

Singing memories

So inviting

Sometimes reaping

Takes a lifetime

But I'm pushing on

With living life

Renewed in mind

I say goodbye

To yesterday the siren

Singing memories

So inviting

Sometimes reaping

Takes a lifetime

But I'm pushing on

With the mind of christ

I say goodbye

And watch her die
