Would it Matter?

What if those pink chocolate roads

Led to the answer?

What would it matter

If we melted right there.

 

It's not so sweet

When you lie on the ground.

What if the roses

Led to more blood?

 

You know that I've got a few thorns

But what would it matter

If I trimmed my petals

And wilted in the sun?

 

What if the electrically charged peaches

Opened up your lungs

And made you a sweet

Sugar filled mannequin?

 

What would it matter?

If your skin was plastic and your eyes dull marbles.

Would I start to love you more

Or the display window in your chest?

 

If you met with fire at the edge of a cliff

I don't think it would matter

You'd jump and I'd catch you

But whether we fall or not,

 

Would it matter?
