Settling Down

I ran for thousands of years
Throwing my spears
Toward my fears
I drank the blood of my prey
To carry my days
Further through this maze
The gods were showing me signs
Of their designs
Between the lines

The brightness of your youth froze me
Your ghostly smile reduced the whole world
To a little square

I learned to caress the earth
To cheer for a birth
To moan when I follow a hearse
The gods gave me the rain
A sheep and a grain
A cycle to follow again and again
All these because you showed up
You, visual drug
Swirling in my blood

The brightness of your youth froze me
Your ghostly smile reduced the whole world
To a little square

My trip came to a close
I am as happy as I can be
I'd do anything to keep
Whatever we got here that makes us feel complete
You smoothly laid down my pride
Devoured my selfishness
I'd kill to know you're fine
I'd die for you, questionless

The brightness of your youth froze me
Your ghostly smile reduced the whole world"
