Pt. I: The Obscure



Wither me, wither all

I stumbled on a withered fall

My earmuffs sip up the cold

From my ears like tea

Leaving them in drafty heat

Makes them shiver out a song

I march down into snow

Walls that grow round an hour or so

As I'm soked in sour onion tears

That rotted on the onion brow

Searching for the deep glens

Of no time and no age

No audience and no stage

Performing to be observed

Observing the performance

The grocer's life repeats on

One more one more

A dead redundant face

Stands and demands change

Never I disappoint

Oh, the glens are deep

And hard to ever see from where I stand

So I'll work my withered hands

Down to the valley of my palms

I give way too much

And starve my needy hands

That must recieve what all hands needs

Another of its race and kind

To say hello, to shake goodbye

I'm just so lonely

Wrinkled and overworked

No one for me

In the valley of the deep and obscured
