E. Absolute

I've seen the writing on the wall I've heard the wild birds sing their sweet summer songs I've been chained to someone's heart And watched the pieces splinter off I've loved more than I have hurt I've picked the crumbs around your door I have hung on every word Though I heard them all before On a barstool in Suley I took more than I can tell Whiskey and beer to chase the MDMA Trying to drown a dog from hell Thought I heard that little bird Was just an echo in the spring I bowed down to the absurd After I had crowned it king Chased the moon across the water Climbed a rusted staircase to a star Faced the faceless, bowed in wonder Kissed the sun, woke up in my car If I hear that you've grown cold I'll know to believe that it's not true It's not the light that disappears It's the eye that cannot see In the wheel of an age The cogs churn outside your door Chaos stutters as it sings But always leaves you wanting more Chased the moon across the water Climbed a rusted staircase to a star Faced the faceless, bowed in wonder Kissed the sun, woke up in my car If you get home before I do Leave a light on Who knew the angels could be so cruel Leave a light on The great elusive absolute don't know Leave a light on If you get home before I do
