Apocalypse

The sky is peeling like old wallpaper, pastel pink and grey The neighbors left their keys in the doors and simply ran away But we’re still here, sitting on the roof with two chipped porcelain cups Watching the stars get tired of hanging and finally giving up Do you like the view? The horizon is starting to bleed You’re the only apocalypse I’ll ever really need. The gravity is failing, our feet are leaving the floor I’ve never loved the world, but I love you a little more Let the buildings crumble like sugar cubes in tea Just keep your eyes on mine, don't look at the debris. ​ Hold me while the sun goes out, whisper something sweet The ground is turning into dust beneath our heavy feet It’s a beautiful disaster, a symphony of glass Watching all the centuries finally come to pass If the world is ending, let it end in blue I’m glad the last thing that I’ll see is you. The radio is screaming static, a lullaby of noise We’re just two broken humans playing with our broken toys The ocean’s rising up to kiss the silver moon I hope the water’s cold, I hope it happens soon There’s no more 'later', no more 'maybe', no more 'not today' Just the taste of copper as the mountains melt away. ​ Counting down from ten... Nine, I see the fire. Eight, the air is thin. Seven, we’re much higher. One! Hold me while the sun goes out, whisper something sweet The ground is turning into dust beneath our heavy feet It’s a beautiful disaster, a symphony of glass Watching all the centuries finally come to pass If the world is ending, let it end in blue I’m glad the last thing that I’ll see is you. ​ The stars are all gone now... It’s just us in the dark. Don’t let go. Don’t let go.
