lyrics

Late night all alone soul winter freeze
Midnight shadows try to trick me into sleeping
Childhood self bid fare thee well
faint voice echo life’s a fairytale
trail away from me...
and I don’t want to be

In my garden days of no regret
brown leaves scattering in their minuet
life’s brittle pages crumple in the wind
forming the wings of the Seraphim
who wait for me...
and I don’t want to be

Half lit lovers lost to dusty rooms
behind long shadows of afternoon
in the ghost winds they fall from flight
and sink like treasure in an old man’s eyes
lost at sea...
and I don’t want to be

Ancient philosophers who said they knew
now dime store prophets in a medicine show
the artist steals his colors from the eye
and he uses them to paint the lie
and the poet is a thief
and I don’t want to be
