Abandon All Hope - The Urgency of Time

The Urgency of Time


My old skin is beginning to peel, the void has been filled
I feel a sense of worth, for the first time since birth
The air much sweeter now and two hearts beat twice as loud
I burn photographs of a wasted past and construct a future built to last

She's the Queen of Hearts and took my whole deck down;
she turned my whole life around
I know heaven exists I've seen it in her eyes and I'll visit hell when she says her goodbyes.
I'd pull the sun from the sky and burn the world to cinders; fry my skin to blisters to kiss the skin off her thighs.

Plastic survives but flowers wilt, the urgency of time and the fear of loss
When the petals start falling off she will be glad she got to see just how beautiful it was.

I'll declare war against everything she hates; when I break her heart I'll put myself in the grave.
I'd rather rot than see tears on her face; I'll love her forever it's not just a phase

This girl's a weapon she'll tear you apart, one glance in her direction will stop your heart.
She looked right at me and somehow I survived, life stopped for a moment but with one kiss I revived.

I relive that moment from time to time because now I walk with her hand in mine

The only thing I can't live without it's just her. My mind orbits and eclipses doubt I trust her.
It only took one kiss for me to know I want her. It only took one day apart to know life's worthless without her.
