A.f.i. - The Poems Lyrics
We held hands on the last night on EarthOur mouths filled with dustWe kissed in the fields and under treesScreaming like dogs and bleeding dark into the leavesIt was empty on the edge of townBut We knew everyone floated along the bottom of the riverSo we walked through the waste where the road curved into the seaAnd the shattered seasons layAnd the bitter smell of burning was on you like a diseaseIn our cancer of passion you said"Death is a midnight runner"The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicideWe picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of starsThat wore like an antique wedding dressThe echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unbornAs the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stopThe few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastimeI kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and askedIf you would accompany me in a quick fallBut you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for twoI rode aloneYou said "The cinders are falling like snow"There is poetry in despair and we sang with unrivaled beautyBitter elegies of savagery and eloquenceOf blue and greyStrange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our namesIn the flesh of the cityThe sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the hirizonAnd the darkness is a mystery of curves and linesStill, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outwardAnd somewhere in the wilderness we found salvationScratched into the Earth like a message
