My lover woke up in a sheet of lies and that feeling of sick not hard to recognizenLying in lawns by the pond with the smell of grass in our yawnsnWe let the stalks grow up past our knees, laid down in our nests and tried not to speaknNext week the papers rumored about our disappearing, what was it they were hearing?nnAnd when winter came the children threw snowballsnThe girls all made cat eyes while the boys all made cat callsnSometimes at night we remember our old namesnBut morning still comes and the memories all fadennAnd it’s enough to made you crazynWhen things can only keep going onnWith no rhyme or reason and maybenThere’s no need to still be holding onnBut a life is always, always alivenIt’s always our waynnNow lover lays flat as I slept on love’s chestnAnd together in dreams I saw the love we had leftnAs it dispersed through our veins I felt the sum of our dyingnAnd their blood came to life in my heart as we’re lyingnnThe night that we met your brains fell through your teethnCascading the charm down your chin to your feetnHoney we love you to death and this sense of defeatnAnd even now I still want my lips on your cheeknnSo when summer came we backpedaled our routenTrampled our lives as the seasons followed suitnAnd there in the distance an old mill has burned downnAnd I swear my footprints have been buried in this groundnThis life is always, always alivenIt’s always our wayn
