Uncomfortable greetings
Casualties of a moment...

At peace in the rain
Releasing my pain...

Under calico constants
In confusion of the currents...

You are the stars unmade
Rest within an autumn glade...

A man struggles with his grip
As his paints begin to drip...

When all that remains
of your lifelong gains...

Excuse me stranger, what is it that you see?
Excuse me stranger, how could you think you know...

Stuck in a hopeless moment
With a pencil in my hand...

Searching for balance in despair
It's just much more difficult when you care...

Retire the bedding
Of silk and crimson...

I leave the carnival alone that we toured through...
I feel that when it must move on these summer...

In this waking, all is shaking
Dew on flesh, a visions breaking...
