The Fall: part one

I give to you this rock of coal
I hear they make such beautiful diamond rings
I ask nothing in return and give you now my soul
I hear it’s worth eternity though I care nothing for these things

All I ask is for the Lonely Voice to whisper
I love you
Now I’m coming home

I love the darkness in my window
I feel as shadowed as my veins dance empty
I leave behind a world of gold and bloody need to know
I cry inside as I laugh full hearted at your pity

All I ask is for the Lonely Voice to whisper
I love you
Now I’m coming home

I sit all empty with my bottle of wonder
I sip and dive into a world I know now as Everything
I keep you in the dark and give you only the name of my dead brother
I am buried there beside him where the garden stood to be

All I ask is for the Lonely Voice to whisper
I love you
Now I’m coming home

I remember everything you spoke to me in Every yesterday
I’m on your back
I know that none of this is what we pictured as a holiday
I threw it all away I am in your debt

All I ask is for the Lonely Voice to whisper
I love you
Now I’m coming home

I watch you cry and burn all of our old pictures
I drink all my thoughts to death
I am the Lonely Voice who whispers
I drown my sorry and drink with my last breath
