A Perfect Sonnet
Lately I've been wishing I had one desireSomething that would make me never want anotherSomething that would make it so that nothing mattersAll would be clear then
But I guess I'll have to settle for a for a few brief momentsAnd watch it all dissolve into a single secondAnd try to write it down into a perfect sonnetOr one foolish line
Cause that's all that you'll getSo you'll have to acceptYou are here and then you're gone
But I believe that lovers should be tied together andThrown into the ocean in the worst of weatherand left there to drownLeft there to drown in their innocence
But as for me I'm coming to the final chapterI read all of the pages and there's still no answerOnly all that was before I know must soon come afterThat's the only way it can be
So I stand in the sunAnd I breathe with my lungsTrying to spare me the weight of the truth
Saying everything you've ever seen was just a mirrorYou've spent your whole life sweating in an endless feverAnd laying in a bathtub full of freezing waterWishing you were a ghost
But once you knew a girl and you named her "Lover"Danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summerBut autumn came, she disappeared, you can't rememberWhere she said she was going to
But you know that she's goneCause she left you a songThat you don't want to sing
We're singing I believe that lovers should be chained togetherAnd thrown into a fire with their songs and lettersAnd left there to burnLeft there to burn in their arrogance
But as for me I'm coming to my final failureI've killed myself with changes trying to make things betterAnd ended up becoming something otherthan what I had planned to be
All right
I believe that lovers should be draped in flowersAnd laid entwined together on a bed of cloversLeft there to sleepLeft there to dream of their happiness
