You can’t

You can’t run from your destiny

You can scream into the mess

Hold your breath

All you want

You can pound your fists

Make loud noises

Up and down the streets

Wield your weapon of choice

Against the tin metal fence

Waking up the guests

With your hurricane weather 

At twelve AM

You can refuse to let me walk out of your life

Whatever lies beyond those tall green gates of hell

Baby I tried

To bend the rules

For you

Just because you asked so pretty

With those devastating eyes

But you won’t hear none of it

This was bigger than you or I 

Bigger than the world we live in

That was too small for us two anyway

Everywhere we went

All we did was rip to pieces

Your obsessive clawing at the world

That drove me insane

Trying to stop the end from coming

Your lonely wrestling with fate and time

Until it drowned you to death.
