Of all the things you have done to me
Of all the things we have set free
I never liked the comfort of the emptiness
That you had a knack to bring

You climbed inside the darkest part of me
We know more about the moon than depths of who we ought to be
I find that very, very alarming
Because I have never been to the moon
But I walked to the pit of you
And you follow me in too

I have put my lips to the lips of many
The kiss I miss is the one I haven’t had with you
I do not know what to feel
I have never kissed someone for real
The notion that I will always be alone
Crawls under my skin, beneath my soul
Like a sin for which I could never atone

You forbade me from ever going to war
But what has come only did because I waited for more
Instead of taking what was mine for what she was for
So send me off when I go
Deposit your love upon my lips
So I can be brave in these sinking battleships

I have always had an impossible hunger
One that seemingly could not be sate
I just want to feel the world between my abysmal teeth
Of all the things that can be crushed by hate
My love for you
Your love for me
Was landlocked by fate

So I ask you plainly to be mine
From this moment forward
Until the stars sing no more songs
Until bygones are just bygones
Until we know more about that deepest, darkest part of ‘we’
The moon doesn’t hold a candle to
The tornado spinning out at sea
