You always made the bed before I woke
And never taught me how to feed the village
By burning trees and making smoke.
You leave me now with nothing of my own,
I can't hunt or use the phone to call a hunter
You disowned me with your death and left me with a throne
And nobody sits on it.
You left the halls empty and broken and the doors dusty and open
You said hello instead of goodbye and didn't teach me how to cry.
And all of your jokers make me laugh but they are just alright,
Its more important that I wont have a way to live and I won't have a way to fight.
You left some food to last for months,
And some papers with your name unsigned
I guess you wanted me to sign them and steal whatever is inside.
I wanted to be alone, but not this way
I wanted you to teach me how to make the day.
You were around for so long, but how was your stay?
You're just like everyone today,
You never mention how you feel, and then you go away.
Now the cob webs are all turned to gold and it is all you left me for,
The touch of gold you used to have must now be cold.
And every day I walk by you and see you frozen in time,
I should have known you wouldn't go away so fast.
In my mind you still have life, and you torture me with your golden facial slime
Your smile that oozes hatred from my tree of masts,
So that you can stare at them from the body you passed.
I know you wish you were around, eating your thyme leaves
And mixing them with vegetables to make seasoning.
Well that time has gone away, and I'm alone instead
Just listening to the wind that is dead.
And like you, it dreads the day it will blow again
Through the halls and bedrooms of your old shed.
This was a castle once and you were its highness
Now you're frozen in time, King Midas,
And all of your gold wont get you out of this dryness.
