lyrics

Overlooking the last place
At the end of the road,
I met you.

The world’s of littered flower pedals,
Dead and browned as rusted metal.
Brackish waters soured yellow.
Behind me, just a fading echo…

When I met you,
You were unexpected.
A reminder, I could still be naked.
The world could still have danger.
Death reclaimed its distance,
I could finally feel it coming.
Rebirth is but resistance.

Finally, we were slowly dying.
Squeezed against our bodies,
Breathing in our limits,
Fearing for the moment,
Holding this becoming.
We had just begun.

I offered my deepest sense of mercy,
The kindness I desired giving.
Any gift that I could gather.
Care was blooming in this moment.
The strangest setting for such beauty.
Finally, we were dying.

We could feel it coming.
As it was descending,
I broke from out our silence,
Gratified and frightened.
A final need for comfort.
Eye-to-eye I told you:
“I owe you my life.”
