Bright Eyes - A Perfect Sonnet
lately ive been wishing i had one desire
something that would make me never want another
something that would make it so that nothing mattered
all would be clear then
but i guess ill have to settle for frew brief moments
and watch it all dissolve into a single second
try to write it down into a perfect sonnet
or one foolish line
cuz thats all that youll get
so youll have to accept
you are here then youre gone
but i believe that lovers should be tied together
thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather
left there to drown, left there to drown in their innocence
but as for me im coming to the final chapter
ive read all of the pages and theirs still no answer
love it was before i know but soon comes after
its the only way it can be
so i stand in the sun
and i breathe with my lungs
im trying to spare me the way
of the truth
saying everything you ever seen was just a mirror
spent your whole life sweating with an endless fever
laying in a bathtub full of freezing water
wishing you were a ghost
once you knew a girl and you named her lover
danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer
autunm came she disappeared you cant remember
she said she was going to
and you know
that shes gone
cuz she left you a song
that you dont want to sing
singing i believe that lovers should be chained together
thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
left there to burn
left there to burn in their arrogance
as for me im coming to my final failure
kill myself or changes trying to make things better
ending up becoming something other than what i planned to be
i believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
laid entwined together in a bed of clover
left there to sleep
left there to dream
of their happiness.
