Now Was
(专辑: Red Barked Tree - 2010)
You're the
wizard of was, becalmed in because The
nawab of no, with no place to go A
grandmaster crashed, whose future has past The
wazir of fear, now: Seer of the
year Used up and broken, fucked up, bespoken The
wear and the
tear are easy to behold Where once was a
diamond, now hides a
sly man A
corpse of corruption, in rancid decay Archduke of rebuke, the
pharaoh of fluke The
Lear of sneer, once pick of his peers Charming and hazy, the
Llama of lazy You sit on your hands, 'til the
trouble has passed Eyes that impressed, now idly, undress Trust once shared, is beyond repair Pledges sound hollow, which promised tomorrows They float to the
floor, forming lakes of dead skin A
new broom is coming, I
hear it close, humming So near and so loud, drowning out my last words
