Internal Void - Next Time 'Round

Next Time ‘Round

Hello “No desire” with arm around Doctor Rain
Some fact based trouble and so with me
In black your answer came

You were alone were you afraid
The rest of your friends and I were there
And you never came
Still alive, still the same
Awkward smiles and change of subject
When they mention your name

The kingdom had to see it coming
When the worst of the storm occurred
Some time and an ear you could have asked for
A call I’ll be damned if we heard

...

Did you exchange your lust of breath
For the yellow queen
Perhaps the violet fog had dropped too low to see
And is it my fault I didn’t keep a watching eye
A question, I answered with a half assed smile
How bitter this must seem
I guess bitter sums it up just fine
We’ll never forget but my friend you have let
The greatest gift so far pass you by
