6. After Avalanches-80's Films in the Dark with You
Possibility A:
I still love you-
(Hip Hip Hooray!)
I pretend that I'm okay,
but I'm not the same soldier...
...now that I'm older.
It's all in vain,
turning on the porch light.
And it's only right,
that I dream that you would come home,
or change overnight.
Love overall
relates to a prescription thrill:
I want to feel good,
as long as it doesn't ****.
Under the tree,
doused in gasoline.
I would have burned for you
for however many rings.
For however many rings.
Possibility two:
I would have loved you,
the best that I could,
until my lungs would collapse.
And I would have pulled you
out of the car crash.
But I watched blood stain,
while trying to save you.
But it was washed by rain,
as you grew blue.
I didn't know what to do.
I waited for the ambulance,
the sirens blue and red.
Did they know that I loved you?
Did I know you were already dead?
Your breath still lingers,
swarming in the night air.
And I still feel your fingers-
God, it isn't fair.
God, it isn't fair.
And you would have loved me,
under falling tree branches.
And I would have kept you warm,
after avalanches.
After avalanches.
I would have kissed you,
as the snow crushed.
And I wouldn't have missed you,
if my hands rushed.
If my hands rushed.
Possibility last:
It's all in the past.
It's
all
in
the past.
