To burn the day again When darkness shows no end Smile at the saddest times Weep for a happy life Eyes fixed on heavens high I tumble into holes I follow suit in dreams Voice of the wind and streams Wise men have none like mine I am the fools delight I beg by the moonlight The voice never consoles I wake with mind aflame My joy and sorrow same The gray fell all around A sickness so profound I've earned this endless night I've earned this bed of coals The world's come to a head The sun and moon are dead Nothing more here to see The light gives up Now it's leaving me I've made myself a thief Lived beyond belief If god's just a jawbone We're just his crooked, rotten teeth I'll wear these mortal coils Like snakes around my ankles I'll be thankful I deserve no less Spend my last days under duress Eyes fixed on heavens high I tumble into holes I'll wear these mortal coils Like snakes around my ankles I'll be thankful I deserve no less Spend my last days under duress Eyes fixed on heavens high I tumble into holes Spend my last days Spend my last days under duress
