about

Without realizing it, these songs are almost in chronological order.
This song is a cover, but it's also an analyzed look at self destructive relationships even with the personal liberties I took to align my own life with. I have a high standard of love and it may be unrealistic, but I believe that my love is stronger than most out there. Sometimes, it's the only thing I have to believe that keeps me from doing something drastic.

lyrics

When we hid out behind the risers at the high school
Making bitter calculations with a slide rule
The grim particulars of poisoning the swimming
Well you looked me in the eye
Ready to die
We were becoming what we are
Collapsing Stars

Well we chewed up d-dextromorphon pills like bubblegum
Till our hearts were beating deep and rich as kettle drums
I knew that if we waited long enough the change would come
And then the change did come
Hold tight, hold fast
Catch lightning in a jar

I told you to load up on provisions
Cuz we wouldn't be back for awhile
Put all your troubles in your old kit bag
Turn toward the camera, and smile smile smile

When we ditched our plans to poison all our enemies
Tucked our weapons in a clearing and covered them with leaves
Oh we are gonna come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves one day, and we are on our way
You can look
But you won't find
Another love like ours
Collapsing Stars
