i know the world is
harsh
dark
but that just makes us all the better
you don't have to struggle anymore
look behind
see the ones who care
all of us forever startled by this life
and we're not about to back down
you turn a blind eye upon us
the pain consumes like that candle flame
and you want release
you want release?
one more cut and I'll cut too
please don't go, not now
i'm not ready to say goodnight
no one really is
but hey, there's no tomorrow, kid
no more thunderstorms
no more swimming
no more heroics
no more fun
and this is all about you
you're center stage with a spotlight
now playing
a symphony in black and red
don't go away, because it's destructive
what about this future,
this orb of light and dream?
last time i checked
that light in the fridge always stayed on
even when the door closed
even when in was shrouded
like a corpse
in a blanket of shadow
i know it hurts
to quite an unfathomable extent
but it will get better
i know because i've been there in your shoes
not the converse on your feet
but you get the joke of course
don't cry
i've already been doing that for you
one more cut and we'll all cut out of love
remember these words
i'm not ready
and i never really will be
but i'm not ready to say goodnight
