Now, maybe we’re beautiful, but it’s hard to discern in the dark Trying to leave our mark on this world, but the earth is harder than our bones We feel so alone now, could we really be so alone? I’ll light my last match for you, but the sulphur burns quick It’s hard to illuminate the way out with nothing but burnt matchsticks Still, the glimpse of your face was worth my last light Turns out we aren’t alone at all
Still, the darkness sticks to our skin like oil, blackness hanging from our frames I shout out against the weight, waiting for you to respond because I’ll feel better when I hear you A glimpse, summer days sitting on a park bench and I see your eyes move What did you see then? Will we see anything again? Fighting back against the suffocating darkness of the world is tiring Then your response echos through the ink, and we aren’t alone anymore
The smell of the sulphur, the sound of your voice, how did we end up here and was it a choice? A somber decision made, looking for ways to escape the life that we had to face? I contemplate too much, the devastating memories through which we **** and pick So I go to the wall, turn on the light switch, 4:30 AM and neither one of us lifeless You ask me what’s wrong, I lean in for a kiss We aren’t alone at all
