best laid plans upon the battleground
where the daisies bloomed and died
and even the roses were drowned
and all the precious metals melted down
it was all unrecognizable
when the wind finally parted the clouds
and i know you may not think it’s still worth fighting for
but i do
and it’s true
it’s all the ever mattered
we’re the carnivores
we’re the chosen few
we took sides before we ever learned
built our walls up with what we could find
not believing that one day they’d burn
a mantlepiece of ashes in an urn
full of all the fallen heroes
who were promised something in return
and i know you may not think it’s still worth fighting for
but i do
and it’s true
it’s all the ever mattered
we’re the carnivores
we’re the chosen few
and god knows what we’re doing
in the hours of fitful dreams before the dawn
the sunrise on the ruins
that stand in the shadow of the sun
you and i dear were not the foolish ones
to think there’s still something to live for
when our whole lives revolved around your shadow
we were bright lights
this whole time
dissolving in your shadow
this story isn’t heading in a straight line
but you’ve been at the center of it all the whole time
what else has there been hiding right in plain sight
it’s been a long and lonesome night
maybe we’re starting now to see the light
maybe there’s still something to live for
when our whole lives revolved around your shadow
we were bright lights
this whole time
dissolving in your shadow
