I chose my life like this
like dieing cherubs
the streets disappeared
smiling into the smoke
life is always this way
flesh stolen on a first glance
fresh love on a first kiss
tell me a story
like those two that we jumped from
that night up on your roof
the ceiling and the ramparts slowed in moments
life is always this way
moths eat my fur
waltz in my pocket
she sings and leaps
with arms outstretched for nothing
her legs around my lungs
in your dream I scream
at your side
life is always this way
in the morning she forgets
she packs and flies
sends me to die
you won�t believe a sad story
we move away and grow old
and never smile
the story blisters and fades
life is always this way
tell me a story
where we all jump
smiling into the smoke
life is always this way
