The Rupture
Words spark the synapse and the fields catch fire;
Our own hot air simply fanning the flames
Of all the hidden discontent and ire
That we've managed to mask with other names
And in this moment everything seemed to change
All of the love we had at once ruptured;
Spilled out onto the battlefield in exchange
For ugly sentiments no longer censored
As the dust settles in the aftermath
We're left standing among the barren remains
Feeling nothing but the throbbing of wrath
Pulsing through our fevered and swollen veins
Yet somehow I know, despite the things we've said
Like the fields of fire, this too shall burn away
And when I lie down next to you in bed
All of our negativity is allayed
Words spark the synapse and the fields catch fire;
Our own hot air simply fanning the flames
Of all the hidden discontent and ire
That we've managed to mask with other names
And in this moment everything seemed to change
All of the love we had at once ruptured;
Spilled out onto the battlefield in exchange
For ugly sentiments no longer censored
As the dust settles in the aftermath
We're left standing among the barren remains
Feeling nothing but the throbbing of wrath
Pulsing through our fevered and swollen veins
Yet somehow I know, despite the things we've said
Like the fields of fire, this too shall burn away
And when I lie down next to you in bed
All of our negativity is allayed
