lyrics

At first glance he is awkward,
kind of like sap on a tree.
The one who walked through the bleaker snarls,
the ones that would kill the darlings.
No doubt they would be harmed in his sudden hallways.
The population pushing walkers also defers, with chattering pearls,
to the departing of the bleakest one in the world.

The bleakest stuff in the world
is not around any more.
What happened to the sun
to make me miss the bleakest one?

And on the far side of town,
newspapers are torn,
a car door’s left open
to accommodate the cheapest coffin.
The most basic of apartments
went unpainted, that is until today.
And kids run into his yard in darkness,
their chests pounding for fun,
not accounting for the passing of the bleakest one.

There are no more empty spaces left
since the day it has begun.
They were the sole belongings of the bleakest one.
