Every wave owes the beauty of its curve to the retreat of the one that precedes it, every flower must fade in order to bear its fruit, and unless the fruit falls and dies, it cannot produce future flowerings, so that spring itself is founded upon winter’s loss.
- Andre Gide, Fruits of the Earth
hold onto me with everything you've got because we're going down in flames
....and there’s nothing we can do to stop the fall
screaming for our lives wishing the sky was our domain
presenting calm facades yet paralyzed by fear
that no one will ever sift through our remains
so we pray to gods that the earth will go away
close our eyes and hope that no one will betray or reveal
these broken hearts inside of you and me
all I want is to survive
the call of the grave keeps me alive
fuel and fire
til my last breath...
as I'm incinerated at the end I'll still be longing for your lips upon my skin
these intoxications have helped to fill the void
but as your passions reassure, I wonder if they’re in vain
for I could love you to unknown depths but we'll be buried just the same
we pray to gods that the earth will go away
close our eyes and hope that there will come a day when we'll feel
I wish I could feel
these broken hearts inside of you and me
all I want is to survive
the call of the grave keeps me alive
fuel and fire
til my last breath
the die is cast
and these foundations will never last
I feel the burden of a name and a face
and still I try to crumble to dust with grace
betrayed by the promises we've made
betrayed by the rules that we've obeyed
we are - holding onto anything
to be of both roots and wings
and in each moment until we hit the ground
we'll be wishing for another way down…
