The Inverted Smoke
Way up here, in all the darknessIs where Me, Myself, and I
The three of us, we come together
To get our kicks
Acting through coincidentals
On the drawing of the backlaps
The three of us, we race for freedom
From our masters
Why we three don't have a purpose
That is for the reader's view
To judge us all, the three of us
In conclusion
So though you're present and accounted for
Your mind is somewhat elsewhere
The three of us, we see your faults
We simply leave you behind
The hour's frail setting's on the other hand,
Not the right one, but the left one, in discretion, with digretion,
On a mountain, to the north, or so I'm told
My aging breaths are speaking curses for the wasted, and the wasting,
Now I'm certain, all my troubles,
Can't have been,
the end of time.
Now your chest is heavy with the burden of a giant
In your eyes I see the danger of a folly-hearted fire
In the end, you will be punished, for the smoke, it is inverted
So that you will choke and burn the day they put you on the pyre
