Maxwell Blue's Oubliette:

  Fools and Kings

Fools and Kings

 

Fools and Kings

Reason and dreams

Horror and trills

Silliness and seriousness

 

I’m going to die.

I’m going to die.

And I don’t know why.

And I don’t know why.

If I could touch the sky

Still the breeze

From your hair

Remember the Blue & Green

And every small thing.

If I could live

Simply & Stupid

Instead of knowing I blow it

Maybe I wouldn’t be spending time

In the darkest corner of my own mind

 

Goodbye.

Old friend,

Goodbye.

You were once so kind to me but,

Goodbye.

Time has played the notes—the same notes

Once too many times and the melody

Has becomes just noise

When now old friend

I need to say

Goodbye.
