Roslyn,
Can you feel it, too?
That cold, empty air that is threatening you
Though it may seem that we're always in motion,
our footsteps will keep leaving evidence again
Roslyn,
Does it matter now?
The distance will turn all our love into hate
And photos of us will remain in exactness,
Quietly living the life we could never seem to find
Faces flow by me and they all look like yours
Can't get my gaze off the ground anymore
But how can you claim you're not like all the rest
You showed up to my funeral in a wedding dress
Roslyn
Can you hear the sirens?
They cry themselves to sleep every night
Their kids are out back, smoking clove cigarettes
Telling everyone that they were adopted
Roslyn
Even in my dreams
The poisons too strong to settle in your veins
It's a secret I'll keep to save your peace of mind
It'll destroy us both, given enough time
But how can I make you feel
A little less human
and a little more real?
And close your eyes and pray
we may need a miracle to get through today
Faces float by me and they all look like yours
Can't get my gaze off the ground anymore
But how can you claim you're not like all the rest?
You showed up to my funeral in a wedding dress
