Bright Eyes A Perfect Sonnet Lyrics

A Perfect Sonnet Lyrics

lately i've been wishing i had one desire
something that would make me never
want another
something that would make it so that nothing matters
all
would be clear then
but i guess i'll have to settle for a for a few brief
moments
and watch all dissolve into a single second
and try to write it
down into a perfect sonnet
or one foolish line
because that's all that
you'll get so you'll have to accept
you are here and then you're gone
but
i believe that lovers should be tied together and
thrown into the ocean in
the worst of weather
and left there to drown
left there to drown
in
their innocence
but as for me i'm coming to the final chapter
i read all
of the pages and there is still no answer
only all that was before i know
must soon come after
that is the only way it can be
so i stand in the
sun
and i breathe with my lungs
trying to spare myself the weight of the
truth
saying everything you have ever seen was just a mirror
and you've
spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever
and now you are laying
ina bathtum full of freezing water
wishing you were a ghost
but once you
knew a girl and you named her lover
and danced with her in kitchens through
the greenest summer
but autumn came, she disappeared
you don't remember
where she said she was going to
but you know that she is gone because she
left you a song
that you don't want to sing
we're singing i believe that
lovers should be chained together
and thrown into a fire with their songs
and letters
and left there to burn in their arrogance
but as for me i'm
coming to my final failure
i've killed myself with changes trying to make it
better
but i still ended up becoming something other than what i had planned
to be
now i believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
and layed
entwined together on a bed of clover
and left there to sleep
left there
to dream of their happiness
