For you I can lay the secrets
Of the past thousand years bare
I profess the whispers of trees
And empty my mind of all my dreams
No one believes me the things I see
Quick to make one word out of me
Another waste of time
Romantic, naive
I'd tell you that I love you
But you never believe
I almost don't myself
If it weren't for the smiles I see
The things that I dream
If it weren't for silent nights graced by a whispering breeze
I wouldn't believe
In timeless abandon
Our species disease
Sowed by promises the stars made long ago
You think love is held in the ego?
Don't be absurd
That kind of abandon can only be timeless
So I love you all
What can I say
When my lovers insist on fighting
It splits me like lightning
Humanity what can I say
Your wounds are tender
Your scars are hard
Your stories don't mix
I get it you're ******
But I love you evermore
Even after your heart has been torn
So please stop this madness
I've had enough of you in caskets
We have plenty to do
I want to recreate the world
With you
Do you see yet what splits us in two?
Why must we insist
To not resist
The worst of things
Is it a cycle like the rain?
As inevitable as death?
Can't we rest and shed tears
Can't I hold you without fear?
I love you my dear
Because when things are clear
I know we have always been right here
Twirling in time
Being different people
But the rhyme still shines
And I'm going insane
I'd be committed by you
If I confessed what's on my mind
Rambling about love and sunshine
How there's not one thing more alive than any other
And my suspicion that we're actually all the same
Unconventional to say the least
But so was it to say there was a globe beneath our feet
So I sit here and pray
That one day it'll be obvious
And in the mean time I hold the rain
Because I promised to catch your tears
For all my dead lovers
All over the world
