Neon Epitaph

How wild the wind came in
on the day when I found out
Passage of the one dead star,
its black dust lingering.

Seeping through to my lungs!

I fall towards the skyline,
I drown my sorrows here
in liquids clear.

Time for absolution!
How the dead birds sing,
they're right atop my roof.

Take my offering,
my promise can never be undone.
The weight of midnight
replaced by the shadow of a sun.

I hold you in my arms
and it's farther than you've
ever been, little one.

Adrift in sacred vertigo,
the name is wandering.
Our neon epitaph!

Time for absolution!
All the dead birds sing,
they're right atop my roof.

Shadow of my shadow,
cling not to my grief.
I am long left behind now,
you are free.

Shadow of my shadow,
cling not to my grief.
I am long left behind now,
you are free.

I hold you in my arms
and it's farther than you've
ever been, little one.

Take my offering,
my promise can never be undone.
The weight of midnight
replaced by the shadow of a sun.
