We Strolled Upon the Parapet

lyrics

We strolled upon the parapet
Flailing our arms, lest we forget
To look as the light in the attic
How it lingers on and on
The pages sing
Their little talks of how we will
Always lose this war

We’ll close our eyes
We’ll close our eyes until we both go blind
We will reprise
We will reprise these songs of the dead
We’ll bear it all
We’ll bear it all upon our shoulders

So they told me that death was death
Doesn’t matter of the things you’ve done
Just as long as you repent with your dying breath
And so you pray for sin
In the hopes that you are given
Everything you lust after

So I’d rather take the loneliness
If your heaven really does exist
Well I find that the abyss is more than wanting of me
“It’s not my fault”
That’s what you’ll say as you
Place all your blame onto them
