Eulogy

the twilight sky from the window of the train
that means so much to everyone but me.
the candle flames around potemkin's grave
as zion sings the eulogy.

it's pointless to try and take.
you know that i always stay awake.
holding the tiny bell.
i hear it singing to me from the well.

the times i tried to leave.
so hard to even breathe.

gathered the flame with friends and family near
and everything i love wasted away.
clinging tight to the things that i hold dear.
and squeezing harder each and every day.

standing for what i know
seems like it's the only way to go.
breaking though i have gone
don't remember just what i've been on.

though ahead of you
i knew this would never do.

driving through to the last part of the road.
i doubt that i could ever turn back now.
the things we said sometimes will cause somebody pain
but i can't look back anyhow.

seeking until i find.
i've never seen, but i have left behind.
going until i reach
something that i knew i'd never see

no one took my time.
i almost lost my mind. again.
