We Might Both Die This Time

You told me, “fuck humanity,”

And something about your insanity.

I made a joke about profanity

(And said that I love you).


You were bleeding everywhere,

Drawing lines without a care.

I melted under your brown-eyed glare

(And from that moment, I knew).


You found the darkest spot in heaven,

And your biggest, heaviest sin.

I found the softest place on your skin

(And turned the sky back blue).


I was running from the past,

Trying to make the future last.

They were calling you an outcast

(And you were running, too).
