Procession

You tied me to a chair
Sailed me out to sea
Left me sinking in the ocean
As the sharks circled me
Distant shadows 'neath my feet
Faded images a dreams

I woke up to a cooling sweat
The beads ran down my face
Painting pictures in the pillow
As I turned so many ways
I wonder if I'd stop
If I finally saw the face I know

Lust has got me falling
Uncontrollable diesease
My head is fully satisfied
My heart is never pleased
I'm fed up with the girls
Who just keep falling to their knees

'Cause envy is too curious
Its boldness always wins
Leaving murders in the corridors
And bodies in the bins
I'm not sure this jail
Will keep these feelings in.

I hear death is very distant
Its agony's despair
And the several homeless tissues
Can never really cure
The tears from the eyes
From my funeral procession

So I'm fighting with a wooden leg
A chair still floats beneath
Keeping hope inside its cradle
As it's swaying in the wind
Distant lullabies are heard
As my mother slowly sing me back to sleep

I'm sorry but pandora dear
You'll see what you have done
An example of self sacrifice
And I guess you finally won
If you close the box for good
You'll never get back, I'm gone

So she sits beside my chair tonight
Tries desperately to dream
That her hands can only stop
My sinking memory
I bet she never knew this box could ever stop to dream
I bet she never knew that it would kill me in my sleep
I bet she never knew that these are nightmares and they're finally hers to keep.

I hear death is very instant
When the bodies in despair
And my family will follow
As I'm lowered in the air

The tears from the eyes
Of my funeral procession.
