Following Days

Let the following days always remind us

Of the presence we face, constantly dazed

Let the following nights uniformly teach and conform

Bless us and keep us warm

Until we're finally safe and together

Oh how repressed are our exchanges

I see your hands full

I watch you grow old

How many smiles have you been faking

From what I'm told you'd like to see a coffin fold

There is no sympathy

So these are useless love letters

The house is filled with smoke and light

Hallowed wings and blacked out eyes

The scene goes frame by frame

Until we finally focus on the few details we have left

But failed to use

We will remember what we choose

Let the following days always remind us

Of the presence we face, constantly dazed
