The capital forgot about us
At least something could
There's a covenant to speak our truths and then divide
The revenant of love denied
Lost to time

Is this an end to consequence
We're tied up in the vines

There's an irreverence we held for adult life
A sentiment bound by every honest lie

We're calling this an end to consequence
We're tied up in the vines

Is this loneliness
This is loneliness no more
I thought it was everything
But now it's the sound of the rainfall before the deluge of regrets that came my way
It's the first reminder of a thousand cold calls
And taking the long way home
It's the antidepressant
The great suppressor
Let's bury it deeper than we could ever have meant to
So that we'll never remember this

This is the end of consequence
We're tied up in the vines

Can you hear it
Are you listening
It's everything
And nothing all at once
Are you hoping for more
I hoped for years
I really thought it would come
But nothing ever came
Do you feel what I feel
Was your time the same
Do you carry an emptiness for all that was never meant
How many miles did it take
Or was it all in the time
Because it sure took me a while

I tried to find the words
I tried to hold them in
I thought it best to keep them
And not to push my nerve

It took some years of thinking
That I'd set aside to learn
I made up the answers
To questions you'd never heard

Will the guilt in me hold up
In the cities lost to time
Do you think you did your best then
Because I didn't do mine

I can only be more honest
When the prose simply simplify
I've everything to hide from
But nothing to hide behind

I think the sinking feeling's leaving
A hole's being filled in
It's getting hard to remember
Everywhere we'd been

Nowadays I think just maybe
Through the cover of a half-truth
That these words could well be
The last I write of you
So, here's to hoping to
