Mercury Retrograde:

In a moment's breath I stopped frozen beside

A still frame of you in the open sky

And I fell into a brief dream and I'm lost

in the atmosphere

I found that death breeds hell and it's never enough

I'm sitting here waiting for a fucking sign to come 

If i had one chance, now I'd better run

towards the streaming sunlight

If you were still here, would you recognize me now?

the years that have passed haven't paid their 

toll

Trapped in delusion and i'm waning 

i can't escape these paintings

that haunt the keepsakes

Reminding me of the time when...

you.

were.

here.

Last time you said there'd be a day you'd leave

and i start to question all meanings

That were hidden in a cold reprieve 

Lost in an open maze

and then I searched with a never-ending passion

In resentment of the ashes

Do the lives we've led really 

even matter anyway?

In a second's thought, one chance tonight

I can't keep this crush

locked up inside

Do you know what it's like to never say

how you feel?

It's a secret that I can't seem to reveal

For the time is lost and the price

was steep

It was something I couldn't guarantee

It's a call to arms with the world on high

And I spoke too late, too afraid to try

at the chapter's end and

story close

One final word is read

I'll look out over the distant city skyline

this nostalgia..

umm hmm 

ha ha ha

it's breaking me nigh

Big bad wolf

you misbehaving boy

When evil should suffice

you retreat with pride.

Burning city at stake

I dare you'll gladly try

complexity of the human mind

so sublime. 

When I can just scream

a big fuck you 

here in cities skylines
