lyrics

O misleading compass
My dear chaperone
Exhausted directions
You have given to go
I can't trust your hand,
Though continue to hold you
My guide,
I will always oppose what you show.

My blue mental wound
Of unsavoury dreams
Each ointment you nullify
Each stitch you unseam
Your parasite thrives
On a mild self esteem
And I hope that I host
Not leech off of thee

If all else fails
I'll come to you when age comes to me
When all is well
I'll return to your company
There to live
There to be,
Tethered to you
Never again to release.

O garden of myrtle
Asleep in the shadow
Of cloud, and if not then of tall glazen tower
The wind sings your hymn
The scent from your limbs
And the birds never loved you
Or loved anything.

If all else fails
I'll come to you when age comes to me
When all is well
I'll return to your company
There to live
There to be,
Tethered to you
Never again to release
