I can't reach
consciousness
untethered
falling deeper
into darkness

and they try
but I just can't
I don't know why
It feels wrong
to love anything

but I remember
smiling and dancing
sweet salty September
oh, everything...

I can feel it
drawing closer but
not close enough
I need it now
something to believe

and I try
but I just can't
understand why
what I think
isn't what I say

but I remember
laughing and crying
through each endeavor
and our love dying
in my arms

I loved you like
the sun loves a star
so distant and mysterious
but we can't exist
in the same galaxy

and we try
and we live our lies
but we always have an eye
out for that distant light

it's not about
who's right
or wrong
who lost
who won
'cause when
you're gone
I feel so
hollowed
why can't I
help myself?
I want to
crush you
but I love you
...
It's not about
who ****** up
or who got ******
who lost it all
who lost the torch
'cause when
I'm gone
you're just
a shell
why do you
always run?
you know
I will not
follow

is this how
it will always be?
you vs. me
used to be us
against the world
how did we
ruin the perfect thing?
we reduced an
empire into ashes
over a text message
