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.
