Nothing

If we could be distracted
for a moment, only
from our broken hearts, could we
for just a single second
admit that we are lovely
as only broken things can be?
If bodies weren't so stupid
and love more than illusion
and souls were anything at all
do you think you could direct that
perfect gorgeous meat suit
to maybe sometime give me a call?
I know the truth and it is none of us
are getting out of here alive
At the end there'll be no one remaining
to talk about how well we died
Nothing
will be waiting
for as long as it takes
No one
will forgive us
for all of our mistakes
If you had any idea how much I think about you
you'd know I think about you all the time
This world is cruel and pointless
but all I want to do is
make a song that makes you smile
If it would convince you
that you are something golden
bright and sweet as honey in the sun
I'd pour out all my blood
on the sidewalk at your feet
and you'd never doubt
that I died for love
Are you a mistake, like me?
Does your heart endlessly ache, like me?
Are you waiting to wake, my sweet?
Were you born just to break, like me?
I know the truth and it is none of us
are getting out of here alive
At the end there'll be no one remaining
to care whether we live or die
Nothing
will be waiting
for as long as it takes
No one
will forgive us
for all of our mistakes

I'd hoped this would be
something lasting and sweet
ending in your death
or mine
Our flowers would swell
into sweet summer fruit
cradled in tendrils and vines
The distance like winter
or volcanic ash
made them whither
there'll be no more wine
Now I can't remember
the last time I held you
The warmth of our bodies
entwined
Never thought I'd end up here
Never thought I'd stay
You made me fall in love with this world
Never thought it'd hurt so long
Never thought I'd write these songs
about how I managed to lose this girl
But here I am
and there you are
an hour or a million years apart
You will always have my heart

It's dark and getting darker
the full moon will always wane
each day it's a little harder
each time I hear her name
And you know I tried to hold her
like trying to hold a flame
when I pulled her close
she danced away
It was summer
her eyes were thunder
her hand in mine
was the stillness after rain
It was summer
her lips were water
the day she told me
that she had to go away
She was strange and getting stranger
the kind of girl that no one really knows
spilling blood and speaking mysteries
as substitutes for home
and you know I tried to tell her
not to face it on her own
but there's a place where she is strong
and it's a place where I can't go
It was summer
her eyes were fire
her hand in mine
was a kestrel in a cage
It was summer
my heart was breaking
still I wouldn't dare
ask her to stay
We never did belong here
caught up in that fateful tide
I hope I see, you little sister
another time

Is this what you wanted
when you said those things you said?
If you had your way
would we be anything but dead?
Love is all you need
and other lies you told
like no one cares for me
like you do
I can't believe I believed you
You made your choices
you fed those things you fed
So here we are
I guess this is how it ends
