lyrics

See the tundra and the trees
As they crumble underneath
It would be a better view
With you by my side
Foundations come apart
See the cities drowned by sea
All this failure would be fine
With you by my side

You ate half my heart
And threw the rest away
Two of the reasons
I overpassed my stay
In your apartment
You froze my tears to gold
Could joy be this low?
Could love be this cold?

The lyrics I wrote
I threw them all away
Replaced them with words
Of emotion and cliché
It's out of my hands
Beyond my control
When we're apart
And keep growing old

I stepped on some glass
And flayed both my feet
I fell on my head
And broke all my teeth
I drank away for days
And broke half my brain
It burned away some tissue
But left all the pain

If the sky was blue
I could give you the sun
But the dark and the streetlights
Have only begun
The lamplight and snow
Will have to do
As I hide away from you

Or I could just call you, and ask you to come see me
