The Crown

Heavy lies the crown
The fractured spirit
So many nights of broken sleep
My mind gets the best of me
Do I deserve the peace I seek?
Or the nightmares I receive?
The weight of the world
In every decision
I guess I’ll sleep when I am dead
Insomnia, my love
You have been my only companion
In a kingdom of rats and snakes
Behind every corner, another mistake
Heavy lies the crown
The fractured spirit
Everyone is waiting
What comes next?

I tried to fly with broken wings
I’m unable to reach you in time
I couldn’t save you
Sorry for the years of pain
I would never lie to you
Time heals no wounds
Became a harden shell
Built by a lifetime of neglect
Worries and fear
Every day, a little more numb
Hollowed out reality
We’re in this together kid
A daily mental health check
This is a letter to myself
Life has been unkind
I’ve wished for death
He knows my name
But I’m still here
Fighting every day
For some peace of mind
Remember to breathe

And a lesser way
Than it is today
And there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
Darkness approaches
Close to my chest
Locked in my arms
As they inch closer
The fear assails me
There’s no turning back
To take your hand, to hear your voice
Your light shines on me
The heartbeat of my life
Whenever I’m restless
Whenever doubt enters my mind
Your light shines on me
You’re the heartbeat of my life
Better men than I
Haven’t felt this pride
The steps you take
To become something more
They fuel my soul
I’m there for you
Close to my chest
Locked in my arms
The threat lives closer now
The fear assails me
And there’s no turning back
To take your hand
To hear your voice
Your light shines on me
The heartbeat of my entire life
Whenever I’m restless
Whenever doubt enters my mind
Your light shines on me
You’re the heartbeat of my life

Go down to the river and pray
You’ll find it full of blood
Baptized in the ashes of a burnt down world
Stack the bodies high
Bare witness to our Tower of Babel
Entitled jesters reign on high
Send down the locust rain
Watch the vultures soar on high
Above this wasteland you all call home
Go down to the river and pray
You’ll find it full of dead men
As the tower collapsed
The jesters all will fall
And the vultures will feed
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

Eulogy
03:50

I tried to hold your hand
And felt nothing in return
Life would never be the same
You shined to bright for this world
May the light in your eye guide you to safety
Away from a world full of pain
Love has carried you away
Like a blushing bride
A love story complete
The story begins and ends at 6:10
I awake to a new world
Where the lights have grown dim
With these very hands
I lay your ashes to rest
Till the soil with love
