Waves & Radiation

With the lines of the cars at the college at night

Are their pillows and blankets, their posters and lights

Are their hopelessly young faces

Tight with the solace or years

And you look at me blankly, did I miss something

All these kids seem to be less like ghosts on the ring

Of the graveyard we built from the sting

Of these horrible fears

So I try not to laugh, as it brings you to tears

Well I won't tell your secret, if you won't tell mine

I'll just speak quietly through a well rehearsed line

My, my how time makes one long

For such ignorant peers

And you grab hold of my hand as I whisper in your ear:

"On the day that you die, please remember these words:

You were the luckiest gift, that I'll never deserve

I can feel you and me like my heart beat

And blood stream in turns(?)

"It's desperate, I know, but please don't let go

I can't begin to address all these debts that I owe

I'm just a sketch of a man, I'll let you know

When I'm (?) "

Then I hurt you, deserted you, left you alone

With your loneliness to wear just like a crown on a throne

As selfish and trite as

Anything god's ever known

Oh but don't be afraid, I'm going down too

When we finally fate, I'll be fating with you

I'll just hold onto your hand, but I'll wish

There was more I could do

These kids got no clue, it's all hacked me in two

Let's go tell them what's cool, tell em it's just me and you

We'll find out soon enough, but by then

We'll be dust on their shoes

These kids got no clue, it's just me and you

Let's go tell them what's cool, it's all hacked me in two

We'll find out soon enough, but by then

We'll have nothing to lose

I'll just hold onto your hand, but I'll wish

There was more I could do
