stay
You came to court me
One summer day
But couldn’t find me
For I had flown away
Risen above the clouds
And looking down
The leaves became your shroud
And hid your frown…
(they say)
“Sulfur smells when it burns”
Anxious it made your stomach churn
“deny me the pleasure of your face
Destroy that garden growing in your place.”
I would come down if
You would just stay
Will you oblige me
And feel the magic play
Doff all your circumstantial
Indifference
Lie back enjoy the flowers
An evening spent where
(they say)
Sulfur smells when it burns
The water you spill makes it yearn
Blaze higher enveloping your path
Your joy here was never meant to last…
Stay
(don't leave the abstract)
stay
(messeuirs dont sign that contract)
stay
(the siren always beckons)
stay
(but it's up to you to listen)
(this)
Sulfur smells when it burns
the ashes of those who haven't learned
Deny all the voices that speak
Destruction isn't all that she seeks
(she wants you to)
stay...
