We lined up our angle
Took years of course
Stuck around to watch things die
Stuck around to feel remorse
Not that any of us were chomping at the bit
It is easy to be strong when you don’t have to commit
When the day finally came you were there on the bow
Said, “I can’t believe we’re just ditching our ground.
There are some things I just thought constant, like the moon, even you, to a certain extent.”
“Baby this body ain’t nothing but a hearse, expect nothing from no one, except maybe the worst.”
“Don’t like that, I know things will be alright…”
Even if we die
They’ll throw our bodies towards the light
And every night
When they’re looking at the stars
When they’re wondering where we are
We will laugh and throw our heads back like
Cannons firing off, but we won’t make a sound
No one will be watching and when everything is drowned
Out in the black, we will take off our masks, I will fill all your cracks, you will fill all my cracks
When flesh is stripped from bone
Everyone is hung out by their ears with their atoms exposed
Do you think it will shake the foundations of our makers to see a subtle lining of hate?
No, they will look at what you gave
Turning circles over in your head won’t take your fear away
I’m just trying instead to focus your attention on burying
A hope in place of grief
A storm looms over me
