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
