Patriot of life and love And all things soft and gentle Rewrite our history simply this time. I know your hands can handle the unwrappings of fate They are older and thicker palms than mine Inscribe these epitaphs of time lost Sign them for me to remember Remind me of the distance How misery loves company How love resents all that’s complacent and easy Give way to anger All within reason Gnaw at the iron bars of reality Like I do all the time, looking back Its all I do Forgive me for the underpinnings of my nature I wish there was more blood to bleed The well has run dry, but at least my tears are still wet with the memory of you I hope I stay sad forever At least then we can exist in the same world At least then we can exist to each other At least then, you’re still there.

Patriot of life and love And all things soft and gentle Rewrite our history simply this time. I know your hands can handle the unwrappings of fate They are older and thicker palms than mine Inscribe these epitaphs of time lost Sign them for me to remember Remind me of the distance How misery loves company How love resents all that’s complacent and easy Give way to anger All within reason Gnaw at the iron bars of reality Like I do all the time, looking back Its all I do Forgive me for the underpinnings of my nature I wish there was more blood to bleed The well has run dry, but at least my tears are still wet with the memory of you I hope I stay sad forever At least then we can exist in the same world At least then we can exist to each other At least then, you’re still there.
