The Musings on Purgatory’s Bench

The Musings on Purgatory’s Bench

 

All stars, every star

Only rusted colors recall their knowledge

Watchmen sent from above

Golden constellations kept me as I was

 

But not as I am

Not who lives under these eyes

I’m not who I am

Not these sunken, blackened eyes

 

I’m bunkered in a broken chapel

Dwindling among teeth-scratched sadness

But I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel

That twinge of white

Spark against my heart

Innocence whispers

My war is all for you

 

The glowing fort shines

Pleading for my spirit to come into the sun

So orange and free

Clocks break the news and my sickly skin

 

But there’s the lock binding my hands

To undesired devotion

 

But not as I am

Not who lives under these eyes

I’m not who I am

Not these sunken, blackened eyes

 

I’m bunkered in a broken chapel

Dwindling among teeth-scratched sadness

But I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel

That twinge of white

Spark against my heart

Innocence whispers

My war is all for you

 

Whoa; real wars are no such guide

Whoa; vintage bliss is all I need

Whoa; you are my constellation

Whoa; Now I’ll follow the moon toward home

 

I’m bunkered in a broken chapel

Dwindling among teeth-scratched sadness

But I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel

That twinge of white

Spark against my heart

Innocence whispers

My war is all for you
