Throwing Stones and Demon Fools

about

A song for Autumn.

lyrics

Last date by the lake
The ache meets a break
We see the flowers start to abate
Winds of change rush in while we await
Them

Taking two steps while you're taking one
Wind whips my back when the talking's done

Hunger rains lush on a red leaf
Clasped hands touch on your dead belief
Cramped caskets and round tables
Two bodies lend bountiful grief

Taking two steps while you're taking one
Wind whips my back when the talking's done

As the dying season passed
He knew the next life wouldn't last
She has a heart shape of an ass
Forever within reach but unable to grasp

Taking two steps while you're taking one
Wind whips my back when the talking's done

Barstools in the smoke
Where we drink to lost hope
To loves lost in whiskey glasses
To doves hanging under overpasses

Taking two steps while you're taking one
Wind whips my back when the talking's done

I've seen demon fools
They do mean to do evil
But they see through you
Ease you through seeing the true you
Who can do nothing better than setting a timer
Set an alarm, set the conscripts on victims
Set to disarm all the peasants to cause no harm

Wake up whence you sleep, men
You've awoken to the deep end
Up the hill you go till you find what you're seeking
Nothing comes for days
No
Nothing comes for years

What a fool, open the casket
Might as well step in already
Don't mask it; you're done
You barely started steady but it's been fun
You've outlasted your usage, you're used up, you're one nuisance
You've no offers of tutelage, you're unreachable and undone
With no future to speak of, I'd teach you but I must run
Just step lightly into death's sweet hug and leave behind the sun
