A Perfect Frost

We lay upon the floor

Resigned to silent company

The television murmurs through the wall

Across the yellow dawn

The particles are tumbling

We crumpled like a cavity

And drifted when the stitches came undone

And innocence collapses

And fools us all until we fall

Oh, it collapses

And fools us all

You told me that you'd thought

Of voyages to galaxies

A graduate in make-believe

It's not the monsters you've been running from

And as you dance alone

I wonder what you'd do to me

A familiar kind of jealousy

Sprayed across the fields a perfect frost

And innocence collapses

And fools us all until we fall

Oh, it collapses

And fools us all

I'm sure I heard your voice amidst

Protests for the environment

But desperation surged for you to turn

Even though those days have paled away

To insignificance

Desperation yearned for you to turn

Could we return
