Underneath a Shady Tree

To finally be tired And not bored Sirens ringing outside The open door Letting in the light And no more Understanding life Is not meant to be adored Adoration leads to nothingness Adored for its own defeat Or for its bruising heat Or for its deft retreat I'll stay free Chained to thee Underneath a shady tree And if I was alone Within Would I find my soul arising To bring in Any other way To live? Or is it simply bound To this? Adoration leads to emptiness Adored for my own retreat Or for my resting feet Or for my deft defeat I'll stay free Chained to thee Underneath a shady tree I'm wont to be Underneath Parted soil one with me How about rest? The light that seems to guide every step out of purgatory Shallow at my best? Succumbing to hounds of life around my story Friendly is a sin? I cannot allow myself to walk more freely So I take off my shoes, and suffer pain and gory, bloody freedom-glory Listen to your friends Listen to the neighbour of your baleful illness Look inside the manger Look inside your head for your own playset-story Touch the face as wind Touch the hand of something that might be touch only. Penelope's in danger Give yourself to something that won't be forgiven. I'm on ice (Just waiting for the moment) Soon I die (But take me to that place rather than to be alive) I'd like to be alone Don't keep talking right now When there's something happening Down within there, look down! There's a light a-flickering Someone inside needs you Someone take themselves down A leap of faith may help you Or move your body out I'm underground I'm on ice (Just waiting for the moment) Soon I die (But take me to that place rather than to be alive) I'd like to be alone Down within I see out Crowded faces all around Drips of water coming down Darkness abound Too far to make out Don't come down Move your body round I'm underground I'm on ice Soon I die I'd like to be alone
