Well known the wanted the aimed the looked for

The lake and the joker

Who hides in the narrator’s score

The friend I don’t have the friend I never met

The biggest holes in my life the biggest regret

Sleeping in waste lands with young people and a light I can’t deny

A star who I love

A fire I admire

A soldier I pity

A princess I know

A prince who hides

A boy who let go

Sleeping in shadows

Chewed on by vultures

The wolf that stalks

The tiger

The glow

The light that I think of the darkness I chase

The soldier’s a queen now even though she lacks grace

She carries a bomb she is holding too tight

The wind what will whip the shores through the night

And into the mists the monsters will run

Into the marsh beneath the hidden sun

As their feet sink into earth that swallows them whole

They are strangers I will never know

Goodbye now goodbye and rest through the night

Tomorrow’s a nightmare

Try not to wake with a fright.
