For forty days and forty nights We had no reasons to fight So the planet was flooded By the warm blooded ******* soaked Visible ****** No more cloaks No more loners For everyone there was a match But here's the insidious catch It didn't take long for people to get bored And start cutting and crossing cords Until we resembled a chaotic horde For forty days and forty nights The Earth was flooding Until things got muddy And clouded transcendence In the form of independence Our lives keep knotting together Our lives are rotting endeavors We were completely happy But felt that was too sappy We sought edgy darkness In a world that was shark-less We made the world we live in By putting on shark fins And eating those that fall overboard Out of their relationship We try to be their overlord Or add them to our list Love grants a clenched fist When there is value to a kiss For forty days and forty nights We turned on Earth's floodlights And the world was flooded by love Until we decided to try to look above To see nothing there Just the empty air There was a time when there was love Now there is none Only a gun And the number one
