you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever
_laying in a bathtub full of freezing water, wishing you were a ghost_

So I say, "Please burn these words that I write and
Ignite a flame into a new day
Let's go hunting for some real passion here
These bloodstained papers, late night tears,
They get so old
Such a cold, cold world
Such a cold, cold world"

So you say, "Let's get away from all of this and
Build a house on the ocean
Spend the night on the moon
Just escape to break free from deeply penetrating shallow words
Let's fly with a zephyr
Get away from it all
Get away from it all"

We strummed the guitar
And sang a requiem
For the countless demons that used to rob us of fulfillment
Just lying under the stellar black velvet,
Dreaming of better days to come,
Perfectly entwined into the daybreak,
Interlaced us into perfection

We were together and away from it all
The air felt warm like it hadn't felt in years
We talked in words ineffable to the lips
And I somehow knew that this was love
