Consider me gone (25 years)

There were rooms of forgiveness in the house that we share                                           But the space has been emptied of whatever was there                                               There were cupboards of patience                                                                                There were shelf loads of care                                                                                             But whoever came calling, found nobody there

I've spent too many years, at war with myself                                                                      The doctor has told me, it's no good for my health                                                             To search for perfection, is all very well                                                                                     But to look for heaven, is to live here in hell

After today, after today consider me gone

Consider me, consider me, consider me gone

Consider me gone, gone
