You went away, went away to the city lights
A world I never knew that well
And as they greeted you with their open arms,
I was the one to say 'farewell'..
The words we spoke in your quiet room
Under ceiling fan and sheets
Were like a trench dug in a battlefield
I never thought we would retreat
But you know all our friends
Turned out to be wolves
And you know all our love
Was the love of fools
We wander through the night
Searching for our light
And if we die,
We did the very best we could
I spent three nights awake now
And you have dressed it up so well
So far the guilt has collected here
Upon my restless frame
Despite my imperfections
They can't say I didn't try
The things left out of the darkness
And let out in the light
