| This is for you who will pass before me for you whose eyes will roll back just as mine begin to see the hazy sun rise I will awake One morning one morning, as a bird sings its song into an empty desert where no life can survive, except for those lives that need no others And I will rise to an empty house where nobody knows who I am and only the walls can hear my bitter screams, my screams of crimson and blue but they cannot listen like you And I will walk into the sand and the red rock will tell me, the red rock will tell me that you have returned to dust For we all return to ashes And when the sky turns purple, and my face is in the shadows I will turn my eyes to the sky to see the stars reflected in my flood the stars are only as eternal as we are I will have seen a star die, seconds before I did the stars are only gas, and dust, and dust For we all return to ashes Bare walls greet me, greet me as you once did, as you once did before the nights froze over and I could see my breath in the air and I will turn and crumble into a clay dust that pounds to the wood floor For we all return to ashes |
