As we pass the many broken hearts
piled up behind us
false starts only serving
to remind us
you and me
are immune to this disease
the one that is spreading
all the lovers are dreading
causes hearts to freeze and fail
causes hearts to freeze and fail
We may never see another
summertime again
we may never feel
the warmth upon our skin
but you and me
are immune to the cold
as long as I have you
and you have me to hold
our hearts won't freeze and fail
our hearts won't freeze and fail
Lost in a glass/Pain paper plan/Rain down ache lonely in strain to wrath/Make faces to the dress next to faded men
End December lay change/Table ten
And then I move/awkward to rhythm/Dance next to smiles taste in a colored prism/Prison of the everyday made Jack a dull watchmen/He's planning to escape right through the schism
At eleven they call out crowd/Resound public broadcast to the world aloud/Say "We're nearing the end better make us proud, c'mon dance party people leave this world to drown."/Like Noah in his safest ark/We all know the rain comes to replace the spark/Chasing arc's design to delay the end/But we clap to the cast of the fire sent.
Did you ever think it would come so soon?
Like crows we fall from our trees
Midnight comes/And the faces go empty/Spending every atom in oxygen's process/Then they choke fall face first in a bated breath
Their veins cluster in serrated death
I'm observing/Somehow not darkened by the artifact that had taken them/But my heart is racing/I can see the lights gather at the base of skyline breaking zen
Did you ever think it would come so soon?
Like crows we fall from our trees
We thought that wings made us immune
But the gravity wants us fallen
I can feel the energy being stripped from my body
the atoms taken away..
slowly i am ripping, tearing and a spirit i barely knew existed
is leading the real me to a very welcoming place
Our planets align/Tangle mass web to weave whole beings/Flash of believing/Swirl answers mash of subject matter/Crash corners
and cancers/Object masters/And we are one/Experience is just a tool to teach/Fear was an active bleed/Greed was a relic of fear to process/And the ultimate lesson was love all things/I was you and you were me/Subjective view was illusory/But we needed to walk the same life through a different path/And in the end i'm kind of glad/That we didn't need the same things/God only knows we didn't even dream the same dreams/But now we're together in the collective light/Let's brave this eternal night.
I understand that we faltered
But it was for own good
And we need to set aside ourselves
Burning candles in brace of the night
Burning candles in brace of the night
Burning chapels to give us our warmth
Celebrate the end of the world with Your Song Here: 10 spankin' new local tracks about the apocalypse, and our impending doom!
