You're joining the army.

Learn to shoot a gun

Learn to march in a line.

Under the eclipse tonight

A darkening ink stain in the atmosphere

I know you're leaving me.

You're joining the army.

Pulling a trigger against my sanity

Detonating the bomb in my heart.

Fuck you and your need for honor!

Let me be selfish,

Let me keep you, just a little while longer.

Kiss me.

Love me.

Marry me.

Stay with me.

Please.

The moon's disappearing now

A sliver of white against the pit of black

The light is fading away

Behind the shadow

Watch it block out the sun.

You're joining the army.

Get knocked off your feet.

Pretend it doesn't fucking hurt.

Witness the world at its lowest.

Watch everyone burst into flames about you

Feel the blood against your skin

Watch the rain of fire against the night

Know the heat of fear

Know the chill of death.

Know that I love you.

A bruised and faded apple

Hanging from the black limbs

Among the stars

So, you're joining the army, kid.

That makes two of us.

You and the military of fighting for country

Me and the march for peace and love.

Hear the screams

Watch the destruction

Taste the defeat

Know war.

Know peace.

Know me.

Know I love you.

Come back to me

Look into the black face of the eclipse with me

Can you see it's mandarin blush?

Kiss me one more time.

Then tell me goodbye

And leave.

Look.

The lights breaking on the other side of the shadow.
