1
Summer I painted, a scene that lit the stars for me,
2
Said "I can erase it for you dear"
3
That summer created those words that came to life in three,
4
They were denied by you.
5
This summer I laid down below the glitter adorned night,
6
I silently sparkled my own way,
7
Summer i laid down by you and shared my frail light,
8
You gave the dark to me.
9
I looked inside (I) to find (wanted) the one I sent away (to insinuate),
10
I nearly froze when I stepped inside (I) to find (remain) the flowers turned to grey (I self mutilate),
11
I closed my eyes and kissed them one last time,
12
Oh.
13
Summer a morning, so pale, alone when they found me,
14
As I remained sleeping, heard them say,
15
"This summer created a boy of abject misery"
16
He was designed by you (He was designed by you).
17
I looked inside (I) to find (wanted) the one I sent away (to insinuate),
18
I nearly froze when I stepped inside (I) to find (remain) the flowers turned to grey (I self mutilate),
19
I closed my eyes and kissed them.
20
So like a lost child,
21
I will hide,
22
And like a lost lie,
23
I will find,
24
Find a way to return to the ones who made me,
25
Cover your eyes and we'll die together.
26
Will you fly for me?
27
Will you fly for me?
28
Or will you cry with me?
29
Will you cry for me?
30
Will you cry for me?
31
Or will you die with me?
32
Will you cry for me? (I've been a lonely one)
33
Will you cry for me? (I've had this whole world)
34
Or will you die with me? (Drained from me)
35
Will you cry for me? (Am I the only one)
36
Will you cry for me? (Well, I've had this hole)
37
Or will you die with me? (Drained from me, drained from me)
38
Summer I painted, a scene that lit the stars for me,
39
Said "I can erase it for you dear"
40
[40 second silence]
41
We held hands on the last night on earth,
42
Our mouths filled with dust,
43
We kissed in the fields and under trees,
44
Screaming like dogs,
45
Bleeding dark into the leaves,
46
It was empty on the edge of town,
47
But we knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river,
48
So we walked through the waste,
49
Where the road curved into the sea,
50
And the shattered seasons lay,
51
And the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease,
52
In our cancer of passion you said "death is a midnight runner".
53
The sky comes crashing down with the news of an intimate suicide,
54
We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars,
55
That wore like an antique wedding dress,
56
The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn,
57
As the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop,
58
Few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime,
59
I kissed you at the edge of the maelstrom,
60
I asked you to accompany me in a quick fall,
61
But you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two,
62
I rode alone.
63
You said, the cinders are falling like snow,
64
There is poetry in despair,
65
And we sang with unrivaled beauty,
66
Bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence, of blue and grey,
67
Strange we ran down desperate streets,
68
And carved our names in the flesh of the city,
69
The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim, of the horizon,
70
And darkness is in the street, it curves in lines,
71
Still we lay under the emptiness, and drifted slowly outward,
72
And somewhere in the wilderness, came our salvation,
73
Scratched into the earth like a message.
74
I cannot leave here, i cannot stay,
75
Forever haunted more than afraid,
76
Asphyxiate on words I would say,
77
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue.
78
There are no flowers, no not this time,
79
They'll be no angels gracing the lines,
80
Just these stark words i find,
81
I'd show a smile but i'm too weak,
82
I'd share with you could i only speak,
83
Just how much this hurts me.
84
I cannot stay here, I cannot leave,
85
Just like all I loved, I make believe,
86
Imagine heart, i disappear, seems,
87
No one will appear, here and make me real.
88
There are no flowers, no not this time,
89
They'll be no angels gracing the lines,
90
Just these stark words i find,
91
I'd show a smile but i'm too weak,
92
I'd share with you could i only speak,
93
Just how much this hurts me.
94
I'd tell you how it haunts me,
95
I'd tell you how it haunts me (cuts through my day, sinks into my dreams),
96
I'd tell you how it haunts me (cuts through my day, sinks into my dreams),
97
You don't get it, it haunts me.
98
Oh
99
There are no flowers, no not this time,
100
They'll be no angels gracing the lines,
101
Just these stark words i find,
102
I'd show a smile but i'm too weak,
103
I'd share with you could i only speak,
104
Just how much this hurts me,
105
Just how much this hurts me,
106
Just how much you...
