It Can All Go Up in Flames

I would let the world burn

If it meant I could see you one last time

I could let the skies collapse 

if I could press pause on time 

 

watch the oceans rise and drown the stars 

let the cities fall in bloody wars

 if it only meant I could hold your hand 

one last time 

 

call it weakness 

madness 

condemnation wrapped in longing 

I don't care 

love was never clean 

 

so let the world burn 

and let me burn with it 

if you’re on the other side 

it's worth every second

  • When Everything is Well

    in a little sun filled gale

    there is a wooden swing

    it's creaky and it's old, but then

    so is everything

     

    it is so dear and pretty

    the meadow's filled with bees

    there are flowers brushed

  • When History Speaks

    I'm sorry.

    And I guess that's all I can really say.

     

    I watched them fall

    watched and I couldn't do anything

    at Columbine

    at Sandy Hook

    at Parkland.

     

    I couldn't do anything

  • Death of the Cat

    If curiosity killed the cat, then homo sapiens sapiens is closer to felis catus than humanity would like to admit, which is all the more reason to reach for new frontiers.
