To make this beautiful music
I had to develop callouses
So that you could feel what I feel
As I feel less and less
Doesn't mars shine red in the night?
I'm the night
Pluto becomes a broken heart
And from your abandonment an empty sunrise
To make this music
I had to love you
Forever
All the while knowing
You're love was just a short time
To sing this beautiful song
I had to strain my voice
So that you could hear all of me
As a melody
Stretched thin amongst the scales
As my soul pains to bring expression
And my throat grows  raw

Still maybe and all I ever hope for
This creation
This child of mine
Is something you hold close
To your breast
And even in your darkness
You see a light
Even in the silence
You sing along
