Making Amends

Darling
Do you realise that
I am fading

This inquest
Is pressing on my shoulders
I am buckling

Darling
I've told you everything that
I can tell you

Rest now
There's nothing left for you and I
To decipher

This is how it feels
When the jaundice sun goes down
When the hollow moon is out
When I've only strength to doubt
Myself

And I'm tired
of making amends

Everything I've ever known
is falling on its side
Everything I've ever shown
is so much wasted pride
Everything, I want it all
I want to shoot too high
Everything, that's what I say
That's what I want and that's why

This is how it feels
