Perennials

I felt a wind as cold as can be Locked up my bones Threw me to the sea Laughing like cancer Swallowing dust Giving no answer For things that it does Forgive my anger You must understand I'm left to wander alien lands Approaching disaster It's no good at all Alone in a cold space Waiting to fall Appreciation, the forbidden art Seeks orchestration that moves in the dark Rattling cans Making demands Pulled into a battlefield ghost-town No gun in hand I'm sick of the fuss And you're sick enough Displeased with the pleasure of measure Your doors rusted shut But no need to worry It's happened before We're all in a hurry to hit the floor Relatively, so cold it could freeze The door that we want won't be opened With skeleton keys From cradle to grave, we stay the same Name our discoveries while we Forget our names Autumn leaves fall and they swirl in the dirt Summer brings flowers and chances to learn We hate separation, don't lie to yourself Despise allegation and physical wealth The coming of spring, I know what it means There's something out there better for me So I got to leave I can't rot away here, I'm too good for that But you can come with me as long as you pack We'll stop by the beach And make us a fire And I won't be tempted or interested in your desire Look at me now I'm all grown up I don't know how I got so tough Autumn leaves fall and they swirl in the dirt Summer brings flowers and chances to learn We hate separation, don't lie to yourself Despise allegation and physical wealth
