We were stumbling through the dark.
It didn't matter.
We were together...
Arms around each other.
Nothing was better.
Nothing got better.
In any weather.
-
You drank a drink or two
While we sat and watched Youtube
I rolled up some Gorilla glue.
Another buzz to get us through.
-
It was a little island of paradise in our minds.
But one of us was destined to be left far behind...
-
We rose so quickly
Through the night
And the smog
And the storm
And the wind
And the rain...
-
Wrapped in your arms
I could barely see
The flags and the signs
Through the pain.
-
It all moved so quickly
Had no time to explain
All the odds were against me
Had no time to retain.
-
All of the bombs and the blast and lights and the shots
And the nights that I had to remain...
-
On the edge of the blade
That you tossed
And you twirled
And you caught
I could never escape all the shame...
-
We were stumbling through the steps.
But we were not alone...
That house was our home
I've loved you forever
You know my heart didn't roam...
The clouds never parted but I stayed under your dome
And all of our memories are turned into fluttering poems.
Their solid within me here, carved from bitter and broken black stones.
-
And we were stumbling through the lies.
The ones that we both had.
The ones that I told.
Yeah you weren't in love
But my heart was sold...
And those words were cold.
And those eyes were bold.
-
And my heart was hurting itself
Just to beat for you everyday
I had no resistance to you
A weary heart floating astray.
-
I wish that I -did that thing...-
I wish that I -didn't do that.-
I wish that I -can't say that shit here...-
I wish I could take it all back.
I wish that we would have waited
I wish that I didn't look back...
I wish that I didn't hate it.
The time that we wasted on trash.
-
Another month just rolled past.
I left you in '22'
When I was just 33
And you were just doing you.
I was just bleeding out.
And you were just breathing air.
And you were feeling alone.
And I was just sitting there...
-
And we were stumbling through the dark.
But we were together.
Nothing was better.
-
But nothing got better.
