Asymptotes
Not falling together
You and I
In this cunning refrain-
Hot off the heels of extravagance, ignorance and innocence
Which I strive for with impossible longing
And giddy nostalgia, soon, and I can feel it
I am propelled into darkened depravity
The end of these pastel emotions draws ever near
I am plummeting into the deep red darkness I strangely much prefer
It is the more tragic of the two
It seems purposely unclear-
Clouding the mind
This song at the very least is heavy for me
I can see your face on the screen
With the trickling sad piano notes
Everything is going downhill
But is a delightful downfall
It is sad that a person can so long for the melancholy and macabre
When childlike beauty is floating there
Lightly at your fingertips
