Scintillating sleek skyscrapers
Line the horizon

And I am hungry for your fuel
Like a gas tank on empty

Burning palm trees in a smoky effigy
Of stolen tomorrows and unsaid goodbyes

When the man who had everything
Speaks only in a language of blackened halos

The only thing left to do
Is to press down on the accelerator
And yell like no one can hear you

How many times do I have to scrape the walls
As your face climbs the mountain of my heartbreak

All I can do
Is rain down upon the landscape
Of our painted past with a storm of regret

You were wearing black
And I couldn’t take my hands off your hips
Or my eyes off of the sparkle of mischief
That was dancing like spider eyes revealing a thousand yous

The broken memories on the floor
The throbbing feeling in my chest

Something’s got to give
Because I cannot live like this anymore

But still we dance
Inside the earthquaking halls
Of my dilapidated memory

And somehow if I’m honest
I still love what we were

A background chorus of smooth rhythms
Played out as the sands of time descend
Our hands intertwined
Our lips blooming as one

Underneath all this love napalm dynamite
We were immutable banshees screaming a whisper of delicate rainbows

In your arms
Soft against the bed

I believed in
The sunrise
