Brown roots burn
— black ashes
The systematic crashes we’ve devised
Revised our future 
— to repeat the past
Was this all too fast?
— Too slow?
Another empty show of hands
The bands have left
— and the stage has cleared
The page has turned
— and the ink has dried
Now it’s just:
You and I
Green eyes
— Suicide
Halycon
— On and on
But now you’ve gone too far
Play the 45, and I’ll see you
— when the album ends
The bends of your lips
— your collar bones and hips —
— Your moans
Gather your pens
— and spell it out
yell and shout
— until your message is clear:
— I’m dying to hear your voice
Or maybe I’m just dying
Time is running thin
Yet time is a myth
— and death is a dream
It seems it’s time to wake up 
— for the sake of us
You and I
Green eyes
— Suicide
Halycon
— On and on.
