now ain't this exactly what you pictured
that I say my goodbyes, for forever
never have to lie again
never have to pretend again
now ain't this exactly what you wanted
say your goodbyes, for forever
I won't be bothered again
too much pain
this unexplainable hatred
in all my corners, it's nestled
"like a whisper dried up on the lips
whose longing wasn't good enough
alone you scream and break, fear and disappear
and you're melted to the universe's core"
and I fucking say
goodbye to all (y)our bullshit
'cause ain't that exactly what you wanted
shadows threatening
our clear-blue skies
our safe h(e)aven
torn down
as the bombs fall
Hellfires come
but we knew
we knew
we knew the threat
it was always looming right above
and so we stand
in self-created debris
we can scream
scream in agony
but there's nothing we can do
it's all gone
though we knew
we knew
we knew the threat
it was always ticking right within us
it hurts
it burns
the flames
the ashes
death—rebirth
let's spread our wings
and take the skies back to ourselves
And as the sand scorches my back
And as the sun burns me to ash
I dream of rain
Drops of love from the sky
Never did I expect the waves of a sea
Rushing over my flaming corpse
Salt mixing with dust in the wounds, and I scream
No one hears, for I'm alone on this speckle
of land in the midst of uncharted waters
(It knows no end)
Romance,
it takes just as many forms
as those who are practicing it.
Ours is a baseless
made-up story full of
fanciful exaggeration of our
non-existant heroic, marvelous deeds
depicted in such complicated allegories that
even we can not decipher them,
not without waging war.
