A movement in this aftermath
She’s closing her eyes, for the final hour
Smelling the scenery as it’s torn away
Sitting on her rooftop, sifting through her weaknesses
That summer dress so scorched
She thought she’d always know this place
Ghastly how this weather changed

“Put your hands down, I’ll be here until the end
I decided to bring this into life
And so I’ll have to take it to its grave
Make me weak, undo your dreams
I am the everything that takes the blame
You and me, we were once the same
I am a human too and so I’ll say, I love you”

She’s looking out now
At this torn new world
Watch the dead imitate reality
As they flow in the water
“Problem is, I don’t love you”

She puts her head into her hands
Awaiting the final plunge
He screams out to her
“If you cannot love me, this is all undone”
She has already chosen and the sky recedes
The ground has spoken:  “come one, come all, these are the end times”

"So what befalls the flawless?
Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully now watch as it destroys me."
