One day he disappeared
and didn't come back for ten or so years
he sat over there with no look on his face
til one day he found the courage to say
he strung himself up alive
we couldn't tell whether he'd lived or died
by the end, by the end, by the end and i
i never got a chance to say goodbye
One day he disappeared
and didn't come back for ten or so years
he sat over there with no look on his face
til one day we found him hanged
he strung himself up to die
we couldn't tell when he'd ever been alive
by the end, by the end, by the end and i
i never got a chance to say goodbye.

heavy clouds
shone in silence
as we sank down
into deep mire
amid the waves
we died of thirst
gravity rose up
and smothered her
do you hear
the solitude
the color of a deep sigh
it sings to you
and all wept
for the last broken wish
not really understanding
what it meant
so they pretend
so they pretend to
so they pretend
so they pretend to

Gravity drags back the light
Orbit the dark star at the
Center of a timelike path
A hidden sun will collapse
Even god is bound by uncertainty
Come to an end at the singularity
Such loss down the black hole
Never getting very far away
