More Careful With Your Heart

(album: Sex, Death & The Infinite Void - 2020)

Of all the words I had to say
The secrets I'd impart
The magic monolithic truths
I wrote to you at dark
I'd write them all again
Just as reckless as the start
But I wish I were more careful with your heart
No longer can I live the life I knew at eighteen
No longer can I gaze into the life lived in between
The portal closed, I came opposed
And cowered at my dream
Two thousand years to sit and mourn
The death of everything
The fault is mine, our garden grew
Into this thorny mess
Infinite nights I'd fawn for you
Pathetic and hopeless
The bloom is off our rose
And now that rose is dead in part
But I wish I were
I wish I were
More careful with your heart
