Promises in Love
I searched the backstreets near my apartment
To find the missing pieces of love
I searched the sandy beach of Toronto
Only missing people washed up
I buried you beneath the sand
To prove I could tame the force of a man
You didn't notice the police on horses
Asking me if I had your permission
And you buried me deep in your memory
As if my absense were an excuse
To fool you into forgetting
Our love was a hard thing to lose
You didn't ask for my permission
When you aimed to scribble me out
And your scrambled resistance
Reminds me of what we were about
Promises in love
Promises in love
Promises in love
Promises in love
We said our love its gonna win that war
Starting up on my television
To wear a badge of love now
Disproved the terror coming undone
We marched in the kingdom of our arms
Embraced in the radius of no harm
We were higher than the clouds
How could Zeus's lightning bring us down
It is easy to throw away forever
And fill the air with endless passion
We tried to fight a war
With mortal armour of promises in love
Now you say that I am nothing
You blew me up with an atom bomb
Now you say that I am nothing
If I am that what did I come from
Sometimes the ones you love
Learn to walk away
Some say to can go full circle
And meet randomly this way
Promises in love
Promises in love
Promises in love
Promises in love
I don't believe in you anymore
You are the source of acidic tears
I fear you evermore
And what that love was standing for.
I thought we'd revolve this world together
I thought you'd be my golden one
I believe in a word called forever
Now I know that it is only meant for one
Thanks for the initiation
To an expired rubber glove
How could I let on when marijuana
And psychedelics were all you thought much of.
You'd laugh at responsibility
And the duties if God
Even an atheist has faith
In the logics of love
Promises in love
Promises in love
Promises in love
Promises in love
I know the reason you are growing cold
A dozen sweaters can't alter this season of the soul
A precious jewel in the drain you take for granted
The friends who stand while you change
Now I think the ocean
Is my mental state resting before me
I think it is about to attack
I think that I might drown
Now no one complains about my neurosis
Now my armour is gelatin
Our kingdom fell and the war continued on
My badge is worn, I am too you, my body is torn.
The lunar moon's light is like a shadow now
The sun that shone bright is hiding behind a cloud
No one tells me I am too proud
No one confronts me out loud.
Promises in love
Promises in love
Promises in love
Promises in love
Awkward silences of doubt shower
The fields where we fought
The distance between us grows
Like the distance between all things
After you blew me up
Did I make sound
I guess you don't place value on a friend
That doesn't want to let you down
Somehow you are more like
A thing than a person
And I wonder if the places
We visited even existed at all
The reflective moments lasted too long
I am still stunned by the ever-present past
How memories linger forward
And manifest untainted time
Promises in love
Promises in love
Promises in love
Promises in love
Into caves where you couldn't get in
These locked caves you now enter in
It is like you have an all access pass
To the person I am now
Even then I tried to compare
And I do still compare me
Since you blew me off
The pedestal I was born on
Now the empty caves are built cities
Ready to house arrows, vandals, and thieves
For the armies you lead against me
