So Long Sweet Misery

So Long, my misery
 I don't need you
 you've only caused me grief
 forgive me if I fall asleep
 I haven't slept in centuries
 Daylight lives like a burden for me
 so I escape
 sent it strewn about the street
 beyond the ruins of my ancestry
 far past the pages of my disbelief
 I rose from my moat
 like a ghost from a grave
 sunken in the salty eyes of the wandering displaced
 I was heading through the mist across the golden gate
 all of my rebellions fall into the fog of fate
 So long my misery
 I don't need you
 you've only caused me grief
 forgive me if I fall asleep
 I haven't slept in centuries
 Spring time came again
 and Icarus fell
 I flew past the numb lipped nuns who'll never tell
 the secrets of the sailors and their 7 year spell
 I will not fall, nor will my wings ever melt
 if I could I would wash all these wounds away
 I would surround your room with a sense of mental grace
 I would paint your portrait over everything mundane
 more colorful than Easter Sunday
 so long my misery
 I don't need you
 you've only caused me grief
 forgive me if I fall asleep
 I haven't slept in centuries
 put me on a boat
 leave my inhibitions at bay
 my mind is spilling
 but I haven't much to say
 I was running through the canyons
 pulse the echoes of your name
 you were laughing at me like
 the sun laughs at a flame
 put me on a page in a book of beginnings
 let me scroll me through old volumes of ancient teachings
 let me reveal in all of these forgotten feelings
 lay me with the wretched in the arms of my queen
 so long sweet misery
 I don't need you
 you've only caused me grief
 forgive me if I fall asleep
 I haven't slept in centuries
 (x2)
 no I haven't slept in centuries
 I haven't slept in centuries
