final-ish words to cranes song

*****CRANES*****

Hear my words, are they voiceless?
scream my song, is it painless?
with inscriptions burned in marble
and words heav'ly etched into stone

How they spill from lips crimson
each one a drop of poison
I'll end up in the ground with you
if I stay here longer

The best one to bind is you
Signatures fold in octavo
what I say shall never fade
I'll find it trapped in this eternal

I'm suffocating on these sounds
asphyxiating while I drown
words are hands around my throat
oration takes a tone so mute







Keep the rayless morning cold
and the dusty clouds rapt
when a heart as big as yours
is all the light can hold

Pick up your pallid colour
make up the moon for me
I know too well the colour
of the secrets you keep

in the first pallor of dawn
you shine just like a sun
under the vanishing starlight
and brightening night

you're too bright to be so dark
