FOR NOW, GOODBYE

There is a wall through which I dare not step
Mahogany and stone
We have been warned time and time again
To reassemble and atone
There is a lantern shining dark upon this winters day
And a castle in the corner of my eye
Built out of blood and clay

I am equal parts a criminal and king
And I would steal to be the master of a thing
But For Now, Goodbye.
For now

There’s a riverbank we sinners must descend
Where a ferry waits
And perhaps I’d rather be a man who burns
Then one who hesitates
I have memorized the lines of our repose
And I am tracing now
The fragrance of each mystery we compose
Is in my skin somehow

I would tremble in the hands of my disgrace
To lick the sweat of our salvation from your face
But For Now, Goodbye
For Now, Goodbye
For Now, Goodbye
For Now, Goodbye
