Good-bye, good-bye.

Forgotten and alone
under the marvelous dome
of the bright black sky overhead

I stand alone
betrayed with a wound in my back
trying to recall what happened
but being blinded by what will

Trouble and despair haunt me
and I’ve nowhere to go
but between your arms
yet you repel me
as if I were contagious with plague

Why, cruel world, do you damn me
why am I always alone in sulfurous hell
feeling the heat of the tides burning beneath me
the betrayal a quartz knife in my back
blood doused in orange sulfur

Lucy has my heart
and stores it within it’s bosom
where all is compressed and active
where a radiance of life is only theory
where my emotions are ball park

Why was I condemned to be too much
a radical luminescence scarring this land
too much for them, and shunned for life
being held down by primitive fear
and pushed out by prejudice

now I’ll go
forgotten and alone
as if erased with a bottle of swift white-out
no more will my radiance be felt about
and no more will the radical be thought

So
Good-bye
good-bye
My friend of hate

Good-bye
good-bye
My precious fate
