Song Of Myself (Nightwish)

		
[1. from a dusty bookshelf]  
 
[2. all that great heart lying still]  
 
the nightingale is still locked in the cage  
the deep breath i took still poisons my lungs  
an old oak sheltering me from the blue  
sun bathing on it's dead frozen leaves  
 
a catnap in the ghost town of my heart  
she dreams of storytime and the river ghosts  
of mermaids, of whitman's and the rude  
raving harlequins, gigantic toys  
 
a song of mea song in need  
of a courageous symphony  
a verse of mea verse in need  
of a ppure-heart singing me to peace  
 
all that great heart lying still and slowly dying  
all that great heart lying still on an angelwing  
 
all that great heart lying still  
in silent suffering  
smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end  
what is left for encore  
is the same old dead boy's song  
sung in silence  
all that great heart lying still and slowly dying  
all that great heart lying still on an angelwing  
 
a midnight flight into covington woods  
a princess and a panther by m side  
these are territories i live for  
i'd still give mt everything to love you more  
 
[3. piano black]  
 
a silent symphony  
a hollow opus #1, 2, 3  
 
sometimes the sky is piano black  
piano black over cleansing waters  
 
resting pipes, verse of bore  
rusting keys without a door  
 
sometimes the within is piano black  
piano black over cleansing waters  
 
all that great heart lying still and slowly dying  
all that great heart lying still on an angelwing  
 
[4. love]  
 
i see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street,  
with a begging bowl in his shaking hand.  
trying to smile but hurting infinitely. nobody notices.  
i do, but walk by.  
 
an old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic  
it's half-light and he's in tears.  
when he finally comes his eyes are cascading.  
 
i see a beaten dog in a pungent alley. he tries to bite me.  
all pride has left his wild eyes.  
i wish i had my leg to spare.  
 
a mother visits her son, smiles to him through the bars.  
she's never loved him more.  
 
an obese girl enters an elevator with me
