Found you sitting on the clouds and staring
Pointed out towards the fading sun
Looks as if you're hardly caring
Like you know it's temporary
Drifting thirsty in a hidden wasteland
And I am here because of you
you took me here in hopes i'd make it
but everything awfully screwed
Broken bodies walk beside me
waiting to be taken home
but i don't think that they believe it
they know the broken die alone
Living like the worlds against us
like criminals amongst the rest
forced to hide away suspended
cursed days I can't forget
I took her life with good intention
crooked child, you must be ill
I thought ridding her would keep us closer
I trade a sin for some goodwill
Broken bodies walk beside me
waiting to be taken home
but i don't think that they believe it
they know the broken die alone
You and I will start a garden
grow a tree and live inside it
the earth is kind but you're the kindest
I'm unpure but you don't mind it
they started war, obsessive violence
we're the kill and they're the arson
burned our world and made us watch it
I lost it in hate
but that's what you wanted
Broken bodies hide behind me
(Take the thorns out of your eyes)
you've done enough, for this I thank you
(keep your hearts linked up to mine)
Halting death like it's rebellion
(Using all your million lives)
Self destruct in imperfection
