Im blinded, now I see that I
Could not hold you. My orange tree lived
In the darkened room for three of us to
Share.
Maybe you were free before my
Blackened wound covered you.
I took the zen from your zone.
I made a bed where you dont belong.
Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out,
Black sea, I failed to be the light you found alone.
Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out,
Black sea, the monster killed the melody you love.
And now Im going places on my own.
Blinded, now I see that death moves
Amongst us and with such ease arrived and
Surrounds us. These silent bees are hard
To bare.
Lonely, oh, no, not me,
I have a grave to dig. Fast moving feet
You gave me light where it once was gone.
I made a bed where you dont belong.
Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out,
Black sea, I failed to be the light you found alone.
Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out,
Black sea, the monster killed the melody you love.
And now Im going places on my own.
