Of each of the things that we have each written,

You were the best one of mine

My love, our words will continue through the darkness,

In order to spark the next flame

All will die, including myself

If I am the only one who was not harmed

If so, I was the creator of the blaze that killed us all

I have nothing to be sorry for

Except that I left us all behind

Tidal wave

I closed my eyes for a second Saw everything, all at once And the waves grew taller

The lighthouse was hanging on the lifeline The stars were falling into the ocean

And the water took over the city

Now everything I see is reminding me of where I want to be

Everything I see

can turn to dust in the blink of an eye
