I want to see the world light up and dance with the apocalypse,
I want to embrace letting my life go and die with you.
Jump with you into the abyss.
I’ll never fully own you and, for what it’s worth, I’m glad I won’t.
I’d rather see you in safe distance than in my fever dreams,
Daunting on every living creature I haunt.
But honestly, I’m ready to go if it means you’re right there,
Our palms touching, ground trembling with fear and excitement.
Pain is numbing, bruises – extremely severe.
Every building that goes down around us is another hope to survive.
I might feel like I’m dancing with apocalypse on my own
But as long as you’re alive, I’m not running out of time.
