Pearls and Blue - Icarus the Owl

Cold gaze as I push your hand away

All things die as the fallen children near

You claimed you’ve changed

But an archer never leaves

His arrows nesting far out of reach

The look that you make

When she’s burning at the fire

Complete with echoes

Of heartless little liars

I’ll pretend that you’re gone, gone, gone, gone

They will seek their revenge: childless gentlemen

Some will say, some will claim they knew better

Dark spaces in my mind coveting what’s near

The price I pay doesn’t mean a god damn thing to me

Malleable, virgin soul, colored from pale to blue

Waking to the sounds of birds, the only one’s who knew

The look that you make

When she’s burning at the fire

Complete with echoes

Of heartless little liars

I’ll pretend that you’re gone, gone, gone, gone

They will seek their revenge: childless gentlemen

Some will say, some will claim they knew better

That they knew better

Am I alone?

Will I pay for what I’ve done, what I’ve become?

Man on a noose exposing his love to you, to you

Stitch unsewn;

It’s pouring out onto the floor

Cataclysmic consequences are dressed in pearls and blue

Am I alone?

A month away, a decade late

You know it’s harder than it looks

Take away, obliterate

The common thread that you’ve pulled

Follow, my love and you’ll be romanticized

In your tomb, your time of death

Could never be too soon
