day 846

i drew a bridge into the sand
your catalyst
my sacrifice
we only do what we must

everywhere you would step but across
out of sight
out of line
out of your goddamned mind

with words like thousand needles
how deep you cut
how long i bleed
together we shall drain all blood of meaning

let us not embrace before the grand collapse
and then it falls
and when we fall
one day you will understand the gravity

we raised glasses to a fragile peace
here's to our time
here's to the end
now feel wind scatter the remains
