lyrics

I. Soupherb
Looking like he's staring across the street
One hand in his pocket, other holding cigarette
Rubbed his head on his forearm, mind on regret
Trying to figure out when they started losing steps
Spending his night flying solo
How many bottles more? It felt like a chokehold
Haven't stepped home since hours ago
But how is it home if love goes when heat blows?
Took flights to readers and hoes, how did she know?
Didn't give a damn anymore, she stormed off and he just let her go
Like the wife and kid replaced
'Cause one thought he needed a happy place
But it's still the same old phase in a different case with an older face
Definitely not like a few or twenty years back
Forced to squeeze out what's left in their tank
Sweeties, don't worry, take a rest
Mommy's still there struggling to do her best
She's taking them to grandma, too much stress
Instinct running on what to do next
But most likely too busy
Painfully reminiscing to pay attention
Missing that young guy with the sweet aggression
Well, guess those two occassions were trying to say something else
One, you're not meant for each qother
Two, I said you're not meant for each other
Thought of moving somewhere far with her mother
To rip the old and move onto the next chapter
Hoping that he won't come after her
Down on one knee to beg while playing father
Wondered why he didn't think of their daughters
Feeling too numb to show face, give closure

II. Kensa
Blood in the flowers of a perfect love abandoned
Passion's in the twilight zone of a night ocean
Broke apart when she pulled the intravenous drip
Now the prospect of forever is a broken pinkie finger
He contemplates his end, knowing he'd never get better
Penning a suicide note in the form of a love letter
Reconstructin all his bad patterns 'til she left
It felt the same as mourning for the loss of a friend
Consumed by the frenzy of his own codependence
She learned how to abandon when she's constantly abandoned
Now he's back to smoking away a pack and half a day
And he embraced the alcoholic daze as his default state
Just one night lost all of its magic
They were destined to be incinerated sungrazing comets
Burn the photographs 'cause I don't want you in my head
If the full eclipse is matrimony bleeds itself to death
I know that you're exhausted to love and be unloved
And I confess to the crime, I know it can't be undone
I'm sorry that I lacked the needed courage to accept
What I took for granted, now you had the courage to reject
The language of romantics is lost in translation
We only said "I love you" as a way of our tradition
Exploited all my sorries 'til you got accustomed with apologies
That it's no longer an essential part of me
Leave me in this rotting condition that I deserve
I'm not supposed to feel alive at the mercy of your words
Spoken tragedies turned taciturn
Now the photographs are burning to the point of no return
I am setting you free into the moonlight
Take flight with those angelic wings, forgiveness ain't divine
And as the moon rises in the quiet of the night sky
The promise of eternity vanished for a lifetime
Don't resuscitate me with your cryogenic lasers
Let me plunge into the realm of my psycho-fatalism
All remaining light is snatched away by the shadows
I can no longer hear the singing of the dead sparrows
Forsaken by the universe who never gave an answer
As to why I shouldn't be the victim of this cancer
It's the first stain since our immaculate conception
The little demons in my head declared an insurrection
And I'm trapped in despair with pain and affliction
So suspend me in the air and execute my crucifixion
Set the cross on fire 'til the ashes turn black
There is no final revolution that'll end in getting her back
Now I'm all alone in what was once a happy home
Ten years of marriage, no shit is set in stone
In the end, I'm just a name scribbled in her death note
What was once a livewire, what is now a dead ghost
