lyrics

Fading sepia has captured me
In the house of my enemy
Time and tide were never on my side

Wasted youth was a guarantee for those
Who decided they couldn’t wait to close
All the windows that let the light expose the flaws in their chemistry

I thought that you’d recognize my face if you saw me again
But I think that I’ve changed and maybe you have stayed the same
Dorian

Trailing carriages detach from me
To avoid all the certainty
Taking pride in their efforts to deride

On the loose is an orchestra of crows
Singing songs that I never could compose
To be played on the wreck of the of the Mary Rose in perpetuity

I thought that you’d recognize my face if you saw me again
But I think that I’ve changed and maybe you have stayed the same
Dorian

I sink the wine that I know will drown my nerves
Deaf and blind by the second or the third
I taste the challenge from time and sun and earth

I thought that you’d recognize my face if you saw me again
But I think that I’ve changed and maybe you have stayed the same
Dorian
