Part one I Left A Box With a Letter At Your Doorstep Part two Holding Our Love In My Tender Hands When your world is filled with black And there's no turning back A lit cigarette In the back of your car We didn't smoke it cuz' it was a waste of time And I couldn't help but agree And the lungs weren't much on an incentive I stopped yelling Even when you were far away Because of something That happened when you were a kid Press go on the car It's electric I don't understand it I don't think you do either (Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring, then you're gone and you'll come back then you're gone...) Part three 2:57 AM I think we're both so afraid of being alone That we pretend we are To feel less when It happens In my dream I thought you hated me I pretended it was reality Send it along Scream along And you tried to hide (I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONEEE) Part four Words Through a Filter You seem really done my love What is the price of love, my love? It's been two years And I still haven't felt your skin That seems like a lot of work my love Your love is a spectrum Filled with every colour Shimmering shining Your love is a spectrum Filled with every colour And unbanned website in my youth corrupted me And now I'll never fall in love again Part four and a half 2:57 AM reprise I think we're both so afraid of being alone That we pretend we are To feel less when It happens In my dream I thought you hated me I pretended it was reality Send it along Scream along And you tried to hide Part Five Ducks in a Dirty Pond in the Gravel To you I could give you everything you need I could give you everything you want I can make you reap all you seed And we can make each other see that we'll never be attached No matter how much we plead to be And we can make each other need to be together again But that ship has sailed No matter how much we view each other's stories When we rest our pretty heads upon our silk pillows We will know a freedom not of joy But of sadness But free nonetheless And I pray for all the shame in me That you feel no pain And I pray with all the lack of religious fervor That you feel no pain And I pray with all the children that have never done wrong But shunned by the one in their comfort That you feel no pain Because I love you Because I wanted to Because I promised you that... I love you (F*ck I don't even know where to start) (F*ck.) To me: And to myself in my own hormonal tendency: Why you? Why anyone? Why this moment If not to teach you what you deserve and all you want? Now is all you have to learn Now is all you can learn And now is all you need to learn And if you lay those forsaken hands upon your life aquatic Then what have you even learned? And you deserve all you have gone through Without my own regret Why should you expect them to love you If you cannot love your art? Why should you expect them to love you If you hate yourself? Your love is what you deserve I despise you for believing love comes without your own love invested I despise you for every ounce of love you did not give Being too afraid of getting hurt And I despise you Because I see every wrong-doing you do Because I know you Because I am you To us: When you see your love for all it is: We are nothing but two teenagers who sexted We are nothing but two people Who truly loved one another But could not love together And I am nothing but someone Who is afraid of themselves And I am not responsible for someone else's sobriety And you are nothing but someone Who was hurt as a child And is now obsessed with abuse and Deftones And I am nothing but a man Afraid of becoming one Because I do not feel as one We are nothing but two people who may be perfect but cannot do so together And when you see your love for all it is: You are in a wide sea of colours And I'm hidden in them VI. The Letter Atop the Box There's a photo of us, but it's not real We never met, we were just in love And sorry if I already said this earlier but I just wanted you In my dream... We're not kissing I'm not inside you We're just holding each other But I woke up...
