Anchoress

Disaster Porn

I know how this ends,
Our bright shining moment:
We'll watch the fire from the hillside,
Lying on our backs in the moonlight.

It didn't start crazy but here we are.
She didn't touch the moon just to laugh at the stars.
She built her crown of glass with her own hands,
Piece by piece, as a tribute to Romance.
The tesserae tiara atop a tear stained face and
All the broken mirrors he raged back into sand
Are calling all your bluffs, and they'll be winning every hand
Until you finally understand: you're not a number, but a man.

She kissed the stars to sleep
Walking alone down the moonless street.
He lit great fires in the night
Howling his hate at the empty sky.
We're the scale on which they stand
Judging the weight of their endless plans.

Each day is spent in struggle between
Two opposing polarities.

Build up, break down. She smiles, he frowns.
Set fire, regrow. This is all we know.

It took us this long to get here.
It took us this long to get here.
And in a beat, it's all gone right back to where it was.
And we break old ground, till the soil with the ashes of the past.

Build up your cites, and watch them fall down.
Build up your lives, and watch them fall down

And on the TV, we're watching them burn.

It didn't start crazy but here we are,
We've broken every light so we can finally see the stars.
She built her crown of glass with her own hands,
With string and mud, to hold her hopes and plans.

Build up, break down. She smiles, he frowns.
Set fire, regrow. This is all we know.
