We held hands on the last night on earth
Our mouths filled with dust
We kissed in the field under trees
Screaming like dogs
Bleeding dark into the leaves
It was empty on the other edge town
But we knew
Everyone floated along the bottom of the river
So we walked through the waste
Where the road curved into the sea
And the shattered season lay
And the bitter smell of Burning was on you like a disease
In our cancer of pasion you said
"Death is a midnight runner"
[...but Home Is Nowhere lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
The sky had come crashing down
Like news of an intimate suicide
We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars
That wore like and antique wedding dress
The echos of the past broke the hart of the unborn
As the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop
The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime
I kissed you in the apex of the maelstrom
And asked if you will accompany me in a quick fall
But you made me realize
That my ticket wasn't good for 2
I rode alone
You said, "the cinders are falling like snow."
There is poetry in despair
And we sang with unrivaled beauty
Bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence.
Of blue and grey
Strange, we ran down desperate streets
And carved our names in the flesh of the city.
The sun was stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon
And darkness is a mystery of curves and lines.
Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward,
And somewhere in the wilderness
We found salvation scratched into the earth like a message.
