Chapter 117 - Ship of Theseus...

Fell into her darkness,

I fell into pieces...

Extinguished my spark,

Yeah, she drenched every recess...

I think I misunderstand

Yeah, yeah.

Intentions,

Were we just friends?

Yeah, yeah.

-

I sealed off my heart.

Automated defenses...

Replacing my parts,

Lost a lot

In the trenches...

I think you don't understand.

Yeah, yeah.

These feelings

Held in my head.

Yeah, yeah.

-

Let me fall into you?

What's the point of the truth?

I know you want to win my heart in the end.

I need to see all of your scars; don't pretend.

Don't pretend

Just to win.

-

Are we through?

Did you mean it when you

Said that you wanted to be more than just friends?

I need to hear it said out loud now and then.

Now and then.

Let me in.

-

If it's dark,

I will light every inch there.

I'll tear it apart

When I start all the repairs.

Let's build it again.

From the beginning,

We can ditch all the trends.

All the trends.

Make amends.

-

In the darkness

We found all the pieces.

Tumbling soundlessly

Found all the beaches

That we guard in our heads.

The little white lies

That we both told instead.

Yeah, instead

Of the dread...

-

All the dread

That you left

On the edge

Of that bed...

In the middle

Of the night

When I thought

You were dead.

Yeah, I threw it all out

All the shit that you left.

All the gifts that you brought.

That emotional theft.

-

In her darkness,

I fell into pieces...

I had to rebuild me.

Fuckin' ship of Theseus...

I won't do it again.

This time my ship will never break,

It will bend.

Let it bend

In the wind

Now and then.
