Yearning for the apocalypse seemed much more romantic before actual collapse was upon us.
lyrics
Some nights I pray for some great asteroid
These fragmentary lives flung across the void
No meaning, no cosmic revelation
No waiting, no train station
No hesitation, no explanation
No apology, I find you, you touch me
No agenda, no message pending
And we’ll make love like the world is ending
Call me by my secret name
I will whisper into your skin
Carve me out from nothing
Define me for a time
Cry out your hurts
Show me every scar
Forget to pretend
This is where we end
and whatever’s next begins
in a vast, violent crash
when we disintegrate into ash
