Osiris

Osiris, can you tell me
Is my heart light enough
To get me in your underworld
When I show you all the things I’ve done
Ferry me across
Take this bandage from my eyes
Show me the future of a man
Who failed to realize
How he had it so good
I should have told you this
When I was alive and still could

You’re my symphony. I’m your back row
It took all I had to get inside
Now I need an encore
You do it again
And I struggle with these feelings
I see the music that you are
Rise up from your body
Like steam up to the ceiling

Did I stutter? Did I stammer?
Did my face betray my heart?
Will the next few moments
Mean the end of
What I planned for from the start?
I could use some mercy
But to my surprise
I’m searching around to find something
To defend myself from the divine
You’ve got to let me in
With you as my witness
I’ll see it through to the end

'Cause, you’re my symphony. I’m your back row
It took all I had to get inside
Now I need an encore
You do it again
And I struggle with these feelings
I see the music that you are
Rise up from your body
Like steam up to

The path ahead of me is
The golden one that leads me home
But there’s a eunuch in between
The question I have for you is
“Were you there for her too?”
The question I have for you is
“When you said you love her
Did you mean you wouldn’t fail
To let her down?”
The question I have for you is
“Were you there for her too?”
The question I have for you is
“Did you say ‘Thank you’?”

'Cause, you’re my symphony. I’m your back row
