You know that this was love
Our love was real love, shimmering moons
Over the palest lake
Shimmering glass sparkled broken and true
Pretty eyes never were so blue, holding you
So soft in your arms
I cried rivers for every silent reverie
I was lost in you
Lost in those years that were blissful and jejune
I trace my fingers across your lips
All the tears and the roses you left me behind
In this eclipse, I blot out the sun
Every mark you left in the dark, unresponsive
I lay on the floor faintly breathing
Took ten lines of cocaine just to numb the pain
Quiet body going insane
I remember every bruise, minds rolling like cream
Idyllic blue sky the water was halcyon
So we wear this sin for lost boys and hopeless romance
Naked when we touch each other in an impossible dream
I saw a man so broken, endlessly floating through
The clouds we cannot touch
Blowing out the smoke into a little hourglass, so vibrant
I suck out the poison, so vibrant
In my thoughts, you\'re the best treasure I\'ve ever found
In that cornucopia of ghosts, stumbled across the church ground
Drunk and in love, it was always true
The sound of our love falling asunder, head under water
You promised not to forget our holy flesh
Those summer nights when we were high
Fading lullabies, fucked up
Under orange clouds in a purple sky
Our love letters were never a scarlet letter
Violet forever, at out violent end
Deepest core struck by thunder, pink violet
All of our father\'s violet violence
You know that this was love, it was always true
Hollow abyss the flowers rue, my corrupted insides
How I dried my weary eyes and loved your precious bones
On that heartbreak train, casting your sticks and stones
Through every bleary unloved haze, I see your shadows
Love falling apart like embers and dew.
