I pled “No dead ends
Whatever happens
Whatever happens
Don’t go”
I pled “It’s treason
Whatever the reason
Whatever the season
Don’t go”

You said it’s true
I am just like they said, like a pet
I crave love like an orphaned pet
And they were right
To leave me by the dumpsite in spring
Like a pretty but useless thing

Is it that the fog lay thick?
Is it that the world lay sick?
Is it that time’s too quick?
Escaping tick by tick?
Is it that the darkness spread
And not a corner was spared?
Or is it that you never cared?
Or is it that you never cared?

How some people
Leave a mess behind
Has been lately
On my weary mind

I’m on a brink
But I’ll linger, I think
A little longer on this earth
Wait ‘til it trembles
And turns to shambles
And watch them have it much worse

Don’t tell me now
That for miles all is covered in flames
And you’re trapped behind burning walls
That you couldn’t help it
That love’s just a rush that runs quicker
Than water in waterfalls
Is it that the fog lay thick?
Is it that the world lay sick?
Is it that time’s too quick?
Escaping tick by tick?
Is it that the darkness spread
And not a corner was spared?
Or is it that you never cared?
Or is it that you never

How some people
Leave a mess behind
Has been lately
On my weary mind
