despondency

but then this loss of courage cut in
and yelled "all lives on the table"
before the white knight in a camera lens asked
"sad eyes, are you able?"
of little help were strangers with skill
we lived "duck now, or be killed here"
as long as jade sights rode the camels we fenced
we'd stay capsized in our stables

sad eyes don your makeup
and prep for party dress
oh oh sad eyes
you wear acedia well
in these halls of passionless hell

i came running, i came through the fence
i came headlong at the fable
but was no match for this canon of choice
laid broadside of the cradle

of course it could've been something i missed
or let waltz by under-labled
oh oh sad eyes, entertain your guests
as i and others abstain from the show
