abstract sun

abstract sun

you're the sanskrit in my book

dominion

innocence and pride you took

as a god

i drink the beauty with my eyes

as a man

i do become what i despise

the first time i tried

i bled and i died

out of the jar to this flamboyant star

drawn like a moth

clutching because

the idol was there

i approached struck with fear

locust sun

you're the apple and the pie

appolyon

wrapped in ash and so am i

and i ask

do men cry or am i wrong?

gone too far will i live to end this song?

again now i crept

i saw and i wept

so near

still so far

i'm nothing at all

the last time was right

i gave you my life

the purpose i found and now i am gone

into the abstract sun
