Let that last conscience slip from me
And leave the game to force defeat
I see your tears are wine to me
But cannot drink of them for disbelief
Bodies burn out from lost love
The world is watching animals at play
Lift my head if only for the sun
We take this hill if only for today
And the angels lick their lips
For the new hypocalypse
You cut your teeth on mine
I match you crime for crime
Parry action with a trembling fist
Throw it away preserving only spite
Openly exchange our petty theft
Until just empty argument is left
I've reached the point of breaking up
In a place where grieving never ends
May we go peacefully apart
Standing hand in hand upon the ledge
