I carried you to the mountain like you were a kid with a skinned knee
Kiss you better, stick a band-aid on it when you are bleeding
Running like a madman, caught red-handed
The weight of gravity grows heavy
If I am Atlas you are Hercules cheating your way out of duty
It's the eve of the aftertimes and I'm glad to spend mine (with you)
Bound in golden rings at the end of all things
I've never been one to play hooky but now that you're hooked on me
It's easy to fall into habits that you cultivate
Poison hemlock in gardens of Queen Anne's lace
My hands are covered in rashes
How good is that placebo kiss, you're venomous
I didn't mean it, honest
I'm just sick of waiting around to be reduced to ashes
It's the eve of the aftertimes and I'm glad to spend mine (with you)
Bound in golden rings at the end of all things
If you are the planet I am the giant, my world upon my fingertips
Bound in golden rings at the end of all things
