Apricity’s Locket

Slipped in an argument, we've drifted apart and it's obvious
This isn't as hard as we're making it out to be
All these doubts have been taking us out of reach
When we'd rather be playing ‘round making out in the sheets Found you sound asleep laying down, woke up with a blanket on
I never asked for so much as a thank you card
Our hearts enveloped by the lavender haze
A part of me was trapped in your gaze after the way
We happened to play that magical yet hazardous game
With eyes so deep I could fall inside
And leap to find a leaf like trees in fall
And seek to solve the treason crawling on the seats we
Seem to fall asleep on as we ride
And remind each other that we'd rise
The peace sign as lovers
But other than that, our shoe-stringed love was tied in knots
And I just thought that you would loosen up
But who'd have thought that soon enough we would screw things up As usual, reducing us to two kids crushed
A couple of stupid students in lust under cupid’s clutch
Human dust in the winds of change, stuck in a distant place
Far from Kansas; how romantic! Or more like just one big mistake Are we landing or are we up in a mystic plane
Abandoned and panicked in a manic depressive state?
Left to stay travelling in the midst of an endless rain
See, distance makes kisses taste better
Unless we say we'll kiss our days together goodbye
Whether the climate is wet or it’s dry
You can keep my sweater if we venture to sever our ties
Better to cry then while the rain fell from the sky
A tethered disguised to inhibit the fire
Living inside us, I said it was you, you said it was I, but
Acting like a petulant child
With mood swings like a pendulum's smile
Could never revive us, let's try trust to guide us
And read letters to help remind us of better times, hon’
Like when I helped you out the quicksand—your thick branch We'll wonder why we disbanded and grip hands to just dance
If we can get past this test, we can withstand the next
I’m back hoping our black roses get back to red
You made me look twice and I realized then why there's two I's in infatuation
And two t’s like on our first date
Sipping thinking what word to say
Feeling the joy of early birthdays mixed with a swirling cursed haze
You kept your hair in many knots
Like the tangled webs you’d weave with affairs at every stop
Never thought of getting caught with a bod like megan fox
And a mind like kenny hotz you would try anything once
But just ‘cause you were blessed with genetic perfection
You feel you have the right to teach the devil a lesson
And all it takes are handfuls of words for panic to surge
Through your veins and damage your nerves like a candle that burns
On the mantle with urned ashes trying to work to search
For an atlas to capture the burglar who stole your heart
On that mattress back before our keyrings lightened
Type to get even, like we’re licensed to show our scars
Could’ve been a success, but I guess
I was too busy staring at the herring in the red dress
My canary in the coal mine
Never married but were tying up the phone lines
With our stiff upper lippery, full moon
Casting shadows on the clouds, alas what a mystery
Damn, what a system we, sit and grieve
Inside our limited inventory, a bitter story that really needs
No intro...rain's falling as the wind blows
We've grown apart and it shows in all of our missed notes
When we're together the clock stops, coincidental?
Not being sentimental just hell bent on heaven's temple
Let's stop these oscillations, contemplate the cost to save it
Across the nations carnage rages, we can't stop their hatred
But I believe that conversations can save harsh relations
I know I'm all loquacious calling saying all this on the basis
Of slim hopes and chances to stop all these altercations
Our love's a shining amber til it's blue then colourless
But what if this kiss can bring the shine back, a simple offer
We'd probably still repeat the process call us briggs and rauscher
I'd like to sing a song that throws our caution to the wind
I know I'm not always around when you are offering
But now I'm right here, the summer's over, fall awaits us
I said I'm right here, the ball is in your court to save us
You're a thief who stole my heart and left without a trace
But the thing you let me keep was the smile on my face
Shh, the trees have ears
Shh, beneath our fears lies the truth
The truth lies when you try to change gears
I keep on giving you crowns and the benefit of the doubt
But you keep letting me down
It was our song, now it's only mine
It echoes in the mire and gets louder in the fog
Just two strangers in the dark who kept playing with the cards
Too early to be together but too late to be apart
An amorous trust’s deceitfully an animal's lust
A mere respite from the knowledge that man is but dust
Well, another wasted night, getting wasted
Chasing tight jeans, pretty faces, light beams in a spaceship
Found a light in hell and wasn't just the fire
It took us to a higher level let us admire the pyre riding forever
Send me a postcard from heaven, I'll go so far to get it
I've hoped so hard you’d let it develop itself somehow and open up the message
But since I know it’s unlikely I go to my bed and embrace the cold As I hold my regrets in, a broken obsession
My heart was severed when we pulled apart, pause for a second
A scar is a weapon unless we work hard to mend it
And wear it as a pendant
Not co-dependent or in a rush for sweet escapes
Or that forbidden lust and the freedom to chase
From the moment you walked by to the minute we lock eyes
To everything in between to the second you’re gone… bye
It’s time that we finished—from desires for hugs and kisses to denying love's existence
The tide has come and drifted as it rises in the distance
Watching from the window with no end in sight, but listen
It’s to each their own, I’m on a path to mastering my own
Companionship so I’m dancing all on my own
Am I lost in the commonality of the fallen?
We were anything but common and far from being forgotten
But lately I'm found I'm caught up and maybe that is a problem It's raining inside this cockpit I'm locked in… that locket
I’m taking it to my coffin so wait for me til I drop in
Like daisies you plucked in autumn
Watch me
falling
down.
