I was looking for a mountain,
something to leave me breathless.
I found myself at the fountain.
I questioned what had been
the night that felt endless.
I was looking for a mountain.
I did not want to be a villain
when my lips gave your cheek a caress.
I could not find the fountain.
Pull back the final curtain.
Find a skeletal, lonely mess
that was looking for a mountain.
I crawled through every haven
and could find nothing deathless,
but I saw myself in the fountain.
I left the knife that you put in
the night that I was Godless.
When I was looking for a mountain
and found myself at the fountain.
