Time was Never on our Side

Mountains brush clouds, trees sigh and sway aloud

Wind threads and braids through air

clear as glass, too perfect to last

Pavement wavers under our feet

Stop signs dripping in heat

Neighbors watch as the children run past

Too perfect to last

Hearts drawn in the clear, white snow

Cold hands brush and don't let go

The kids in their hoodies walk staring down

They don't know what to do when love is point

A kiss in the dark, sweet and fast

Too perfect to last

Running away from lines drawn deep

painful scars the brain shall keep

looking for love, can't find it no more

in boys who just want the neighborhood whore

swear you'll love me in spite all my past

Living in caskets made out of glass

It was never meant to last

living with shadows, you turn on the light

Close the doors, seal out the night

Through these floors, the blood stained beams

Floating through heavens, the sky a scene

Its dark, but light, open your eyes and make a wish

It's answered, you won't know it though

constellations, the stars in code

In this moment, time is slowed

Nothing will ever last
