The Golden Rule

(album: Masks - 2014)

My muse, you are supposed to be my journey
You promised me a way out
Three hour drives are three hours alone
Three hour drives are better than our broken home
Your lips were the softest yet
When you promised me we'd be out west
The most desirable hues of greens and blues
When I knew your skin for an eternity

And we had everything
We had everything
We had everything
And then you threw it away
And I'll never understand why
And then they withered away
All the flowers in your eyes
And how could I be the same
After watching all my stars fall from the sky?
There's no light
There's no light

Her lips, as vermillion as burst capillaries
Can you feel the gravity when you love me?
Do unto others as you would do unto you
You with another, I'm what you were willing to lose
That's what makes sweet exodus taste like pleasure
I will reflect an end to my every endeavor

Was it all a dream?
Was it all a dream?
Was it all a dream, and if it was can I go back to sleep
We had everything
We had everything
Our memories and how you always promised me
You'd forever be mine

And then you threw it away
And I'll never understand why
And then they withered away
All the flowers in your eyes
And how could I be the same
After watching all my stars fall from the sky?
There's no light
There's no light

Don't try and tell me my feelings
Reach out and try fix me
You've got a big mouth for such a small person
Three hour drives are three hours alone
Three hour drives are better than our broken home
I have never felt so lost
Like I let you break my heart by choice?
If you listen closely that's me forgetting
The sound of your voice
