Sleep

Leave me here to rot
Let me fade away
Lay me in my plot
I promise not to stray

Grow flowers on this lot
If it keeps the gloom at bay
I've lost the war I fought
And now my world is gray

You built my pier
Now one last addition
Strike a match for the fire
Just a little friction

The smoke rises higher
As I become fiction
As you stand to admire
The loss of your sweet addiction

Grant me one last kiss
After my final hour
Then drop me through the abyss
I can't lose another tower

If my love you miss
Just float me a flower
Let the sea take me like this
With all of her power

In the vast empty dark
I may finally rest
Life left it's mark
But you were the best

When you visit, wear your vest
You'll see me in the fin of a shark
Stand on the shore as my guest
I'll be in the sea, the sand, the leaves, the bark

I'm not gone forever
I'm just asleep
You were always so clever
I was always so weak

This bond we can't sever
It runs far too deep
I hope this painful endeavor
Brings the answers you seek

In this world of faded grays
Only you shone bright
Through the gloom and haze
You were forever in my sight

Lonely nights and sad sad days
Only you made it worth the fight
In this twisted terror maze
Only you felt right
