After All These Years

Demolishing our old truth
These paths I had the wonders to know
Your blood, the water of my life
In shadows I see fragments of you
Watching you slip from my palm
Letting you slip from my
Hoping you'll slip from my palm
Fearing you'll slip from my
You're gone
In these trees I still hear your song
Gone
Lust and fury

I remain
'Til the last flame engulfs our earth I'll scream your name
'Til then
The rich golden fabric of my world runs and it frays
I hope I never see your face again

If I never knew you would I ever feel at all
If I gave a better handjob would you return my calls
If I couldn't fucking stand you, would you return my calls
I grow everlasting while you make me feel so small
You saw patience in my eyes and built my glory in your fall
If I left you cold in Oslo would you return my calls
Hey there baby, won't you bring me a lighter
Spark my cigarette and make me a fighter
Sweet and liminal, your heavy rotation
You were beautiful but lacked the vocation
Maybe I'd be something if I weren't your little doll
If I had the strength to hate you, would you return my calls
If I dug my grave by your side, would you return my calls

When I see you I feel sick
The sight of you in my rearview mirror getting closer
You're a four leaf clover
The sight of you pulls me underground
I start to wither and decay, now I'm a killer for you
Grotesque creatures on the wall
And on the dark and winding road to meet you there at midnight
Falling, flailing, soaring
When I see you I feel so undead
Tucked in the recess of her cave and now I'm scrambling for truth
You're the guarded savior, and I'm an animal
On my best behavior
Light the fire sober and tell me all your secrets
While we're getting older, you ignite my world
You're the guarded savior, and I'm an animal
On my best behavior
Take me to the lakeside, and to the ocean blue
Show me your real nature
Then tell me that's not you
I didn't think about it, I just had to see you
I couldn't wait for you an hour, minute, second longer
Despite my best intentions I become a graveyard
You took the best of me and poured another whiskey
aaaaaaaaaaa
She brings the answer to me on a silver platter
The space we float around could take a lover from the altar
I feel the heat of you in forest and in water
We stayed in, drank all of the wine you'd saved for next week's party
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
When's my solitude gonna save me?
Oh my love, let me be reborn in your shadow
If I ever see you again
Please hold me like a dying fawn
A long way from home
Paint over me with somebody new
A stranger to you
Forever concentric
When my heart is mended, you'll be the first to know

I will change myself to love you
Out of body far above you
I am devoted
My mind eroded
I'll meet you in the fog
I'll kill my evils off
For you
Am I a body
Am I just a body to you
Flesh on a failing cause wasting your youth
Am I your mirror
When you dream do I come into view
Bones under styrofoam love
Docetic to you
In your sleep you are a glowing thing
You're the animal ascending
I cannot fall in love with fever
Be my infinite deceiver
They're hiding in the trees
They're all armed to the teeth
For me
Am I your flower
Am I still shiny and new
Tragic delirium basking in you
Am I a goner
If I lay here will they find me blue
Billowing smoke in my mind
Rotting for you
Sunday morning, Sunday morning
When they're coming, keep them from me
In the devil, you're my home

She says we're all brothers, sisters
Turn the light on in the ether
What returns through the opposite
I wish I knew
Have I wakened
Or do I sleep in a cold sweat dreaming
That I found you with the blood on your hands all wiped clean
And life moves on
We're making it easy
Walking the lines that we painted in air
Functional grieving
Looking in places we missed before
Face down in the fading light
Thinking of the ways we get left behind
All the hopes, all the dreams that we had
Fell by the wayside
And I wouldn't want it any other way
But mine
You had me singing a mourning song
Praying for something that lay beyond
Should've kept your tail between your legs
Where it belonged
I went away to the out there
They took my shoes and I cut my hair
Say what you like to displease me
Halfway to death and I still can't make you care
Since you left us, things have changed 'round here
Sober silence ringing in my ears
Hunger rising up in me to have somebody near
Maybe I'm just shit out of luck
Doomed to walk between below and above
Maybe Jesus drives a garbage truck in Idaho
We're making it easy
Walking the lines that we painted in air
Functional grieving
Looking in places we missed before
We're making it easy
Walking the lines that we painted in air
Functional grieving
Just try and deceive me
I'll be your parallel line 'til you're dead
Wake up and leave me

The other night I dreamt I ran to see you
You had yellow floral wallpaper
And two clawfoot tubs, porcelain
You turned my head to the moon
Taillights like fire illuminate your face
You're my holy light
Now I'm trying to figure out if I like Jess or Dean
And what that means to me
Wishing that I hadn't sold it all to you
To put it nicely, in my tiny little life
I'll never meet someone quite the same as you
To put it nicely, in my tiny little life
I'll never meet someone quite like you
