For Helen
-By Harliq and Amsterdam-
My dear,
You never listened,
We never listened
Maybe that's how we fell
Into this hasty, rash thing
I'd like to make excuses
We were young, I'll say
We didn't know what we wanted
Yet we can only shoulder the blame
This chasm grows with each day
I now whisper here, press a kiss there
Remember that time?
Remember that other time?
The bitter-sweet bile of memories
Convincing ourselves we're okay
Keeping that old friend despair at bay
Ha, this game could only keep us
Entertained and alive for so long…
Sweet as it was,
Former glories are faint in the dark
Now we sit in this servant-full house
In this still, empty house
I wonder how we became prisoners
So quickly
Too quickly
My dear,
You never listened
We never listened
Maybe just listen this once
I'll tell you how to drive
The ghosts away from this house…
Sail with me
Our one last adventure
Away from here
I can tell you're far from impressed
But then again I never impressed you
My dangerous, headstrong and childish ways
Or so you say.
Come, my dear
Follow me into the night
We'll sail away
One last departure
What do you say?
