Before I Rise

Let me plant a kiss on your neck
And breathe in your scent
That, or maybe just end it all

One sunny day after school
Bullets rained down
And so began the tragic season

The wind fell still
The windmills fell still
The bellows fell still
Sound fell still
My breath fell still
My heart fell still
And so, once everything has come to an end--

Please, be by my side
I love even this nightmare so much it drives me insane
Smile, if you can
To be together
For a billion lightyears --
That's all I ever wanted from you

Would it be so bad
If we cast it all aside
And frolicked like children?

I know! Tomorrow, I'll go to the beach
And bring all the toys I can
And maybe you can come too?

The wind blew
The windmills turned
The bellows blew
And then came a roar
I took a breath
I heard my heart thump
And so everything stirred to life

The dream lasted so long
I'd wanted to wake up sooner, to laugh it all away
So, turn this into one of those fairy tales
Where you hurry up and kiss me
Where you sweep me off my feet
Is that too much to ask, my prince?

My heart's so lonely
Love's banished from sight
No number could describe my feelings
And yet I tremble
And yet my pulse beats on
Like wreckage bobbing to the surface

Please, stay by my side
Yes, you: stay by my side
I don't care if it's a dream
Just keep acting like you never woke up
Don't disappear too
Stripping my memory of even your scent
And leaving me alone in the world --
Don't let that happen, Oh Lord!
