The Last Will and Testament of Franklin Arnold

I saw you in my dreams

Yet I couldn’t quite believe

I saw you quite distinct

As you’re rifling through my things

The cupboards are all bare

Of the tinctures and the wares

I’ll leave behind a son

With nothing more than…

 

I accumulated through this mortal life

I only ask of you that you will

 

Believe me

Please find it in your heart to

Save me

I’m stumbling in the dark

Believe me

I’m trying to find that spark to

Save me

So I can make it right

 

I’ve always been extremes

The nightmares and the dreams

The victories were small

The rise before the fall

The cupboards are all bare

Of the tinctures and the wares

I leave behind my son

With nothing more than…

 

I accumulated through this mortal life

I only ask of you that you will

 

Believe me

Please find it in your heart to

Save me

I’m stumbling in the dark

Believe me

I’m trying to find that spark to

Save me

So I can make it right
