letra de a thousand songs - ironwise

a thousand songs later-
you’re as silent as the dead
i’ve sung you through your sadness
now can i sing you through this?

i see you becoming
an island of yourself
folding me down low
into a lonely paper boat and
sinking me und-er uncertainty’s hold
oh

the sweet sentences i’ve saved-
to sail you back to me-
will leave a lovely ink stain upon the wave

there’ll be no sound of relief
crashing to your sullen sh0r-
my mache mast won’t hold
the parchment starboard
will bow to the sea, forevermore
and you will never know
the depths of my affection
i will no longer be
making your blues
bluer every day
and every day-
gets a little more gray

i’m at a loss for words…
but, maybe you want it this way…
if so, then why?
why didn’t you say?

i would have saved my breath
for the receptive p-ssionate
waiting for the day
waiting for a day when-

on monday, my music is mournful
on tuesday, i’m tongue tied to
the pyre of your hot temperament
wednesday’s wonderful words, wasted
are all these words wasted? ah
thursday my found thunder spoke, go!
friday’s vice fortissimo’s
sat-rday, i strode into the eye of the storm
seeking insight
on sunday i was sent
crawling up the walls again
profess and repent-
i died for you
and for you-
i was resurrected
don’t d-mn me to be doomed
to be dying again in the arms of apathetic-ness
encomp-ssing the embrace of all that’s empty

i’m a thousand songs
sedated by p-ssiveness
so, i’m a thousand
a thousand silences

i sing quieter every day. 3x
till you can’t hear me

anymore or ever again
or ever again

oh. a thousand songs i wrote-
and i’ll write a thousand more
till i’m 2͵000 times the fool
you could adore
still singing on your floor
i’m still singing on your floor

i wish to have been born mute
and raised illiterate-
to never write another
unrequited love song again
a thousand serenades to silence

- ironwise
