but something is wrong, something is definitely, very wrong, even when i was smiling i was chanting “you’re wrong” like a mantra “you’re fucking wrong” behind gritted teeth. “the sky is falling” i told them “the sky is falling” but none of them believed, they still don’t even now that it has and now i have no teeth, no smile to hide behind instead i hiss it behind my mask you’re wrong you’re fucking wrong oh you have no clue how fucking wrong
atop our proudest hours
beneath our darkest days
along the shifting coastline
we damn and praise
comes in waves
now that the last light we left on is extinguished now that the last hope we left lingering has burned out now that the base and depraved is distinguished now that the words on our lips are plagued with doubt
cityscapes sleep behind us
wind whispers through the trees
the circumstance that binds us
it ebbs and flows
shifts in droves
where language breaches boundaries
embodies all we feel
seems nothing lasts forever
we kiss and kill
turns at will
now that the last light we left on is extinguished now that the last hope we left lingering has burned out now that the base and depraved is distinguished now that the words on our lips are plagued with doubt
the crushing weight of victory
the lightness of demise
when we defeat we’re conquered
we freeze and burn
moves in turns
all of our major milestones
the arc of all our dreams
time slipping through our fingers
we love and hate
comes in waves
