Envious Souls

Lost forgotten envious souls Sky above blotted out by droves of birds Oh they fly Subtle tendencies and nuanced bliss Paid through silence's waiting kiss Tender embers burn quiet slow Please don't go, please don't go Away, taking the light, taking the day Away, living this plight, living this way Hatred waits for those who sleep Beyond the night, beneath our feet And while we search for mercy deep Crenated calluses watch them weep Subtle tendencies and nuanced bliss Paid through silence's waiting kiss Tender embers burn quiet slow Please don't go, please don't go Away, taking the light, taking the day Away, living this plight, living this way Away, taking the light, taking the day Away, living this plight, living this way Impossible task, to speak at last Tongue twisted by our conscious minds Heart beat slowly, lungs fill harder Eyelids blink, servant to our master of mind
