Come on down
To the cellar door
I know you’ve passed this way
So many times before
You’re all in pieces
And all coherence gone
And you haven’t got a dream
To lay your head upon
All the way
Down from Newgate to Tyburn
Where shadows light your way
And trampled fires burn
Nothing can save you
From your unholy sepulcher
Not buying souvenirs
From the executioner
Walk tall, though you think you’ll fall
Walk proud, though you’re all poured out
Walk straight, though it’s much too late
Walk on, though you’re too far gone
Stay awhile
Let me ease your mind
It’s no apocalypse
It happens all the time
It doesn’t matter
What you hoped to be
For what is a man
In the midst of infinity?
In the ashes
Of your old best dream
I’ll help you find the lock
That propagates the key
And your redemption
Will be swift and true
As you walk along the path
Of Lazarus Avenue
Walk tall, though you think you’ll fall
Walk proud, though you’re all poured out
Walk straight, though it’s much too late
Walk on, though you’re too far gone

If I could see you again
Not just the baggage but the real you
I’d admit all the crimes that I didn’t commit
I’d force on the glove I was sure wouldn’t fit
Cuz I can’t seem to break free
I’m jailor and warden and prisoner too
I belong in a place where I can’t hurt myself
Where I can’t be abandoned by anyone else
Cuz I can’t understand
I tried to follow your plan
And be like the man who
You offered your hand to
All those long years ago
But time ain’t broken or fixed
It follows a course of its own design
It’s a train with no track that’s beyond all control
A mission of mercy without any soul
And I can’t seem to give in
I’m long past the point of continuing
Claim your prize, we both know that nothing is free
And since you’re the victor, claim the pale husk of me
Cuz I can’t understand
I tried to follow your plan
And be like the man who
You offered your hand to
All those long years ago
Cuz I can’t understand
I tried to follow your plan
And be like the man who
You offered your hand to
Not so very long ago

Underneath a bone-white sky
My eyes take a minute to process the light
Nothing seems just as it was
Guessing the reason’s because
You found a way
A way to demonstrate
As old as I am, it’s never too late
To see it all for the first time
Isn’t it some kind of crime
I spent
Years
All of those years
Drowning in tears
Living in fear
Of what I was
Walking round West Shepperd Ave
Weighing what’s lost against all that I have
Reading the scales with a start
Who would’ve guessed one little dart
Could weigh enough
Enough to balance out
All of my worries and all of my doubts
You give me faith to proceed
To grow up so late from a seed
I’d left
For dead
The things that I said
The thoughts in my head
Are better unread
Cuz they might’ve led
To an underground bed
So now I’m the lucky one
Embraced where I stand but encouraged to run
You’re always there by my side
Ready to hear and confide
To remind me
That I’ll never come around
Waiting for time to slow up and bend down
So I can climb up in the reins
Bury my face in its mane
And spur on, way cross the plains
Separating the real
From the ideal
Version of me
Who I want to be
And I’m trying to reach
So I’ll drink the sea
And carry the beach
To the top of the trees
So that you will see
My love is complete
Finally
Finally!
