A careless leper
Too comfortable in his own world
To notice the the older wounds
Have new infectionsWith new intentions
Darkness settled in behind me
Tapped me on the shoulder singing
Shivers to my spineFrom the corners of my mind
I've been wanting to remind you
Of everything you've left behindAnd wouldn't you
Shouldn't you remember me
Should you forget, I haven't yetRemember when we almost stepped right off
Between the two heavens one above and one below
One last flight all stars and city lights
One last goodbye, one last goodbyeShe's there when I'm alone
And she always seems to know
The stories that'll take me
Back to where my comforts sleepA caress with velvet paws
That hide her sharpened claws
Along the walls that time has built high
Searching for the blemishesAnd I know she's breathing murder
That it is folly to endure her
But there is sweetness in her whisper
When you've had enough, I'll be waitingWouldn't you
Shouldn't you remember me
Should you forget, I haven't yetYou know that we can always step right off
Between the two heavens one above and one below
One last flight all stars and city lights
One last goodbye, one last goodbyeI've never known a life without her
At every turn she's there her comfort I despise
But there's a coward in me
Fearing any changes for the trialHopeless is a hideaway familiar escape
I've never known a life without her
At every turn, she's thereYesterday's a siren
Singing memories so inviting
Sometimes reaping takes a lifetime
But I'm pushing on, with living lifeRenewed in mind, I say goodbye to yesterday, the siren
Singing memories so inviting
Sometimes reaping takes a lifetime
But I'm pushing on, with the mind of ChristI say goodbye
And watch her die
