|
|

|
|
we were born in the summer rain
|
|||
|
|
the segway to autumn on the horizon
|
|||
|
|
pit-pattering on an old woman’s kitchen windowsill
|
|||
|
|
her own rain carving timeless canyons in her skin
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I never put much stock in the seven deadly sins
|
|||
|
|
until greed became my downfall
|
|||
|
|
and I traded my wings, my flight, my freedom
|
|||
|
|
for a measly amount of human gold
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
instant regret
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
hair sopping in the rain
|
|||
|
|
I picked myself up and pushed past the searing pain
|
|||
|
|
ribbons of ripped flesh still hanging off my back
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
we turned our eyes away from the light
|
|||
|
|
so hard that we forgot how to see
|
|||
|
|
so we built our own heaven
|
|||
|
|
you and I, you and me
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
together until the end
|
|||
|
