Now The World

Summer, I painted a scene that lit the stars for me.
Said, "I can erase it for you dear."
That summer created those words that came to life in three.
They were denied by you.

Summer I laid down below a glitter-adorned night
And silently sparkled my own way.
Summer I laid down by you and shared my frail light.
You gave the dark to me.

I looked inside to find the one I sent away.
I nearly froze when I stepped inside to find the flowers turned to gray.
I closed my eyes and kissed them one last time.
(I wanted this excoriation. I thrive on this self mutilation.) in backround

Summer, a morning, so pale, alone when they found me.
As I remained sleeping I heard them say,
"This summer created a boy of abject misery."
He was designed by you.

I looked inside to find the one I sent away.
I nearly froze when I stepped inside to find the flowers turned to gray.
I closed my eyes and kissed them one last time.
(I wanted this excoriation. I thrive on this self mutilation.) in backround

So like a lost child I will hide,
And like a lost lie I will find a way to return to the ones who made me. Cover your eyes and we'll die together.

Will you cry for me? Will you cry for me? Or will you cry with me?
Will you cry for me? Will you cry for me? Or will you cry with me?
Will you cry for me?
I've been a lonely one.
Will you cry for me?
I've had this whole world drained from me.
Or will you die with me?
Will you cry for me?
Am I the only one?
Will you cry for me?
I've had this world drained from me, drained from me.
Or will you die with me?

Summer, I painted a scene that lit the stars for me.
Said "I can erase it for you dear."
