Hidden Talking Part After "...but Home Is Nowhere" Lyrics

We held hands on the last night on earth. Our mouths filled with dust. we kissed
in the fields and under trees, screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the
leaves. It was empty on the edge of the town, but we knew everyone floated
along the bottom of the river. So we walked through the waste where the road
curved into the sea and the shattered seasons lay, and the bitter smell of
burning was on you like a disease. In our cancer of passion, you said,
"Death is a midnight runner."



The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide. We picked
up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars that wore like an antique
wedding dress. The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn, as the
Ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop. A few insects skittered away in hopes
of a better pastime. I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked if you
would accompany me in a quick fall; but you made me realize that my ticket
wasn't good for two. I rode alone.



You said, "The cinders are falling like snow." There is poetry in
despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty, bitter elegies of savagery and
eloquence, of blue and grey. Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved
our names in the flesh of the city. The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the
rim of the horizon, and darkness is a mystery of curves and lines. Still, we
lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward; and somewhere in the
wilderness we found salvation scratched into the earth like a message.
