Autumn Soon

The puppetmaster understands the need

The jury needs to feel the greed

And seeds revolve and grow and bleed

The underlife tick tocks

Pushing through my safe ideas

Goodbye heroica you overdosed on years

I ask you for a midnight, you give me a high noon

When winter puts her hands on you

It must be autumn soon



Whatever happened to the leaves that used to fall

Where's the candle i left spluttering in the hall

What's the meaning of the siren's call

I blame it on you all

The underlife tick tocks

And chimes away between

Goodbye heroica, you're not needed for this scene

The flaming dying sunset has collapsed like a balloon





When winter puts her hands on you

It must be autumn soon



I thought i heard her voice upon the tide

It was only the shells and stones that sighed

Old neptune tosses in the deep and scalds his mermaid bride

And you know, i really tried

The underlife tick tocks

And changes into ash

Goodbye heroica we only accept a cache

I'm here to give you everything, do i have to stoop or croon

When winter puts her hands on you

It must be autumn soon
