I Was Once a Lovely Boy

from May All Your Days Be Gold by Ian Taylor

/

lyrics

I was once a lovely boy
you saved me from depths of joy
that I would experience
that I would experience.
Miss Irony she speaks in circles
wrapped in drapes and screaming "perfect."
her wide eyes of prophecies dance among the fallen leaves.

the gargoyles of tomorrow have vanished in your smile, love.
leaving gorgons in their place, to turn to stone my twilight's waste.
I died in your lonely eyes, wonder wolf in disguise.
nothing will stay the same, my lover of many names.
nothing will stay the same, my lover of many names.
nothing will stay the same, my lover of many names.
nothing will stay the same, my lover of many names.
nothing will stay the same, my lover of many names.
