For Now, Goodbye - Shayfer James

There is a wall

Through which I dare not step

Mahogany and stone

We have been warned

Time and time again

To reassemble and atone

There is a lantern

Shining dark

Upon this winter’s day

And a castle in the corner of my eye

Built out of blood and clay

And I’m equal parts, criminal and king

And I would steal to be the master of a thing

But for now, goodbye

For now

There’s a riverbank we sinners must descend

Where a fairy waits

And perhaps I’d rather be a man who burns

Than one who hesitates

I have memorized the lines of our repose

And I’m tracing now

Oh, and the fragrance of each mystery we compose

Is in my skin somehow

And I would tremble in the hands of my disgrace

To lick the sweat of our salvation from your face

But for now, goodbye

For now

Goodbye

For now

Goodbye

For now

Goodbye
