beige

I went basking in the beige I went roaming through the haze I went digging my own grave Sinking in my lifeless ways I saw a good friend die I watched his mother cry I was a broken man And said, Never again I built up Jericho This is where no one goes You started marching when I said, Never again I went basking in the beige I went roaming through the haze I went digging my own grave Sinking in my lifeless ways Cover me in the dirt and conceal my unhealed wounds Beckon me to come out, I keep saying, I'll come soon Observe my existence through windows resistant To my own reality In the safety of my business, created, insisted On my own casualty Venture out into the depths, my friend I promise I won't let you drown in them I'm not estranged to your experience I formed the mountains and I made that trench Choking back the tears, basking in the beige Sleeping through the years, basking in the beige Bowing to your fears, basking in the beige The meaning of your years is passing in your days, Passing by your face Will you ever wake?
