We didn't get to say goodbye
You were already gone and lost
We didn't get to make it through the night
My clothes were coming off
I couldn't refuse the dark impulse
I threw myself to break my bones
Broke down in your arms
Thinking about those text messages with emotion
I thought life was easy then I learned
I was so wrong for thinking I could see through the haze
You were gone and lost, trapped in those summer days
The years with a buzzcut, entwined in life
You opened me like an orange
Just to configure the truth out of lies
You spent hours writing love letters to nobody
And all the bite marks you left behind
Were chalk drawings on the sidewalk
Up all night drinking vodka and lemonade
Can't stop myself thinking about those summer days
The fever infected me
Life shaped into a delinquent
The orange sunset over my house
I was playing Fiction Factory and could only think
Only think about you
How you said your life was ruined
And I was so distant, so distant in my speech
Sleepless when I speak
I see Heaven glowing in your eyes
The pity I feel when I'm closer to you
Inching towards a new future.
