Such a sad girl in such a mad world
Spins in place in the rain drops’ space
Laughing at the stars which hide their faces away
Such a little boy who lost his toy boat
And now drifts alone, on the river he floats
Time is a machine and the gears got stuck when he saw her that day
In a world of tears and ashes
A smile is treason, so show me the gallows
In a day of earthquakes and plane crashes
There is no reason for that hill to be so hallowed
Such a tip-top tower was bound to fall
Don’t you know they walked together to the wall
Shot down for believing in more than they would be receiving
Such a fallacy this fantasy made of lethargy
Holding their tongues for fear of what to say
You can take them away but you can’t take love away with all that bleeding
In a world of ashes and tears
A smile is treason, so show me the gallows
In a day of lies and little fears
I have no reason but still have more than you know, you know
He held her hand as they fell into the dark
She held his head in her lap after they cut it off
Revolution is for heroes in books
But they had burned all of those by the time these two were old enough
