The Last Night (The Night Lasted)

1:11am:

 

in my lungs you breed a pale disease

you are even in the air I breathe

 

3:29am:

 

heart in half chasing electronic dreams in technicolour screams

your claws in my teeth as I drown out my whims

 

3:45am:

 

and all the nights I spent lying in the freezer

and all the little lies we wasted telling each other

and even as you left I had not come around

I was the reckless wrecking havoc on wicked ground

 

4:59am:

 

last night I was flying around

dazed and dazed and dazed all over

awaiting my jewelled crown

adorned with the prestige of an empire

 

even in a new cage I could not throw you out

 

5:27am:

 

even as the sun rises surely troubles stay the same

even if you came back now I would gladly play your games

even after all this while all the daze you left me in

 

still you are imperial and my grailed heart it shakes like porcelain
