He holds her tight
On velvet sheets
For hours, time eludes their feel
She smiles so wide
Lets out a sigh
Then strokes his chest
In hopes to raise a child
Children watch
As streets unfold
Through rose-tinted lenses
They trust their tales be told
Bombs Drop
Big men put a halt to progress unknowingly
Adolescents bawl, consuming reciprocal insensibility
But blissfully, collectively we worship a higher truth
Bigger than our bodies, we give in
To the good in me and all the rest of you
To the good in me and all the rest of you
And all around
Lovers stare
Their partner's eyes
Send back the moonlit air
And families mourn
The loss of another
On and on
They spiral in distress
Drops of pearls and silken flowers
Rest on calloused palms
We crave the world when we clench our fists
Yet have it all when we hold its pith
Bombs drop
Big men put a halt to progress unknowingly
Adolescents bawl, consuming reciprocal insensibility
But blissfully, collectively we worship a higher truth
Bigger than our bodies, we give in
To the good in me and all the rest of you
To the good in me and all the rest of you
To the good in me and all the rest of you
To the good in me and all the rest of you
