Scream with me, into the dark.
Match my pitch with your high arc.
And hear the sound of us, bare, stark.
Listen to it, feel it in you, the very human spark.

Wasted time, reversed rhetoric and given pause.
From the steep climb, we can look down on our flaw.
The very thing we never counted on, the err in this design.
The bitter notes of our old song,  it's love, it's divine.

Dig through the tainted wrecks.
Feel through your bones the context
of man made heart string reflex.
And ask me, soft as feathers, "What's next."

Can you feel us slip and fall?
The pit asks and we heed the call.
Does you stomach lurch and twist?
The fear is how you know you exist.

We may never know what we'll land upon,
but trust me, it's always darkest before dawn.
You have to understand, that though our era is bygone,
I refuse to become another man's pawn.

Reach inside you, my love, for the very human spark.
We will face down the ****** dark,
I the dreamer and you my skylark.
Forever, this night, will be our mark.
