Working Title: Horse Temperament

lyrics

The mantle's come to cloak us both
and make us old
it envelops completely
So we can't hide

Our fountain years have long since passed
the moments gone
But we drink deep from the well inside

The unanswered question
The failed delivery
The word on your tongue's short tip

It's a sin
But we let it happen.
Not again
We follow the pattern
Thought we promised?

Eternal youth is overdue
But at least we know
We shouldn't enable
What we know is wrong

The road spells hurt, and this might not work
But we have to try
Nail our colours and nurture
The side we're on

What now?
Plant the flower
Though we may not see the bloom
It's not for us, like it once was
We're all ossifying
But that comes slow
So we beg the garden "grow!"
Seek truth in the flourish
And make a promise to ourselves
To be virtuous, not tumultuous
Enrapture all who held our hands
When we learned to stand

Let's make safe
Our floodgates
And let all the light in
Take our place
In beauty
Become the beholder
Redefine what's righteous
We're not meant to squander
The years we have
Try to be better
Instead of just "older".

Become the beholder
