The Rip

They say love is like a cloud,

Yours was a damp shallow grave.

Did you cry or were you too proud?

I hope you get what you gave.

I held us up and the weight pushed me down

So this is the price we must pay.

A single rose on a burial mound

That's what's left of this bed that we've made.

Tonight

Let the rotten decay

I will never see the night the same way you see it.

I'll never lie, the same way that you did.

This was your end but it's my beginning,

You've changed me you've changed me you've changed me

Keep what's left and bury the rest in peace.

Here lies, alone in the ground

And so on, the tombstone will say.

Rehearsed goodbyes finally spoken out loud

Like an act in some play.

I'd dry your tears but there's none to be found.

Your grey stormy eyes have betrayed.

The feeble pulse of the heart i surround

Alone like the rose here i lay.

Tonight

Let the rotten decay

I will never see the night the same way you see it.

I'll never lie, the same way that you did.

This was your end but it's my beginning,

You've changed me you've changed me you've changed me

Keep what's left and bury the rest in peace.

Rest in piece

I know that there will come a day

When the requiems will play

I'll rise up from my earthly cell screaming a song

That won't be ours.

I will never see the night the same way you see it.

I'll never lie, the same way that you did.

This was your end but it's my beginning,

You've changed me you've changed me you've changed me

Keep what's left and bury the rest in peace.
