It's just a world apart, you said

It's like nothing you've seen, this place

The fiction's given, the ending bled

Into a space across your page

How did it wrap you like

Morning fog chokes the trees

Believed it will - there's something bigger than you know

Are you waiting on me?

It holds you deep and lonely

The center's here, you fill, you own it

Popinjay

Say the word, and see clearly

We can stay in time if we lose the beginning

The crooked leaves for favors dealt

The scared and greedy in the storm

Onto forgotten trust

Onto forgetting us

It holds you deep and lonely

The center's here, you fill, you own it

Popinjay

Say the word, and see clearly

We can stay in time if we lose the beginning

A start

It's better than a fall

It's better than not starting at all

It's just a world apart, you said

It's the pillars of your heart

That leave you lonely

It's the pillars of your heart

That lead to loneliness
