From week in to week out,
the cracks in foundation do form,
and the ceiling begins to leak;
should those in the castle's embrace choose to evacuate?
The lovers huddle in the stillness of their room and contemplate their position,
but something crumbling so quickly needs an equally quick decision.
Dare they take a break and flee from the impending ruin?
And what does it say about them if the structure of their loving home won't support them?
And if the lovers falter
from the tower to the uneasiness below,
will there be enough arms to catch them both?

From week in to week out,
the cracks in foundation do form,
and the ceiling begins to leak;
should those in the castle's embrace choose to evacuate?
The lovers huddle in the stillness of their room and contemplate their position,
but something crumbling so quickly needs an equally quick decision.
Dare they take a break and flee from the impending ruin?
And what does it say about them if the structure of their loving home won't support them?
And if the lovers falter
from the tower to the uneasiness below,
will there be enough arms to catch them both?
