  We stood last night

  In twisted moonlight

  Felt our skin on cold stone

  Tasting frost

  Kiss the sky

  Felt a fire in our bones

  Can we stay

  Here in the moonlight?

  Can we lay

  Together now?

  Why won’t you say

  You love me now?

  Why can’t we wait

  Forever here?

  We stood last night

  In twisted moonlight

  Felt your touch, your frozen bones

  Tasting frost

  Crush the sky

  Saw a fire way up high

  I DON’T EXIST

  I think it’s fake

  It’s crystal clear

  It’s too clean, too mean

  A universe in despair

  Blacking out, giving up

  I was never here

  I was never there

  And I can never leave

  It might be real

  Let’s seal the deal

  I’m too frail, too pale

  A universe going stale

  Backing out, falling up

  I was never here

  I was never there

  And I can never leave

  I don’t exist

  I’ll be going now

  I always loved you

  Please, don’t touch me

  AN HOUR BEFORE THE END

  When you leave us

  When lands deceive us

  All of this in your eyes

  Goodbyes… let’s say goodbyes

  Can you see us

  Can you feed us

  Keep us in this dark

  Leave… let’s leave, let’s leave

  Now it leaves us

  Don’t believe us

  Don’t conceive us

  Take us to this light

  Lightness… we can be, we can be

  Will you end us?

  Dark, defend us

  We will stand in light

  Can we?

  We can be, we can be, we can…
