A Perfect Sonnet - Bright Eyes[00:00:00]
Lately I've been wishing I had one desire[00:00:10]
Something that would make me never want another[00:00:18]
Something that would make it so that nothing matters[00:00:22]
All would be clear then[00:00:26]
But I guess I'll have to settle for a for a few brief moments[00:00:28]
And watch it all dissolve into a single second[00:00:34]
And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet[00:00:37]
Or one foolish line[00:00:41]
Cause that's all that you'll get[00:00:43]
So you'll have to accept[00:00:48]
You are here and then you're gone[00:00:52]
But I believe that lovers should be tied together[00:00:55]
Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather[00:00:59]
Left there to drown[00:01:04]
Left there to drown in their innocence[00:01:05]
But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter[00:01:09]
I read all of the pages and there's still no answer[00:01:14]
Only all that was before I know must soon come after[00:01:18]
That's the only way it can be[00:01:22]
So I stand in the sun[00:01:24]
And I breathe with my lungs[00:01:28]
Trying to spare me the weight of the truth[00:01:32]
Saying everything you've ever seen was just a mirror[00:01:39]
You've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever[00:01:46]
And laying in a bathtub full of freezing water[00:01:50]
Wishing you were a ghost[00:01:53]
But once you knew a girl and you named her "Lover"[00:01:56]
Danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer[00:02:02]
But autumn came she disappeared you can't remember[00:02:05]
Where she said she was going to[00:02:09]
But you know that she's gone[00:02:12]
Cause she left you a song[00:02:16]
That you don't want to sing[00:02:19]
Singing I believe that lovers should be chained together[00:02:25]
Thrown into a fire with their songs and letters[00:02:29]
Left there to burn[00:02:33]
Left there to burn in their arrogance[00:02:35]
But as for me I'm coming to my final failure[00:02:38]
I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better[00:02:44]
And ended up becoming something other[00:02:48]
Than what I had planned to be[00:02:51]
All right[00:02:54]
I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers[00:02:55]
And laid entwined together on a bed of clovers[00:03:13]
Left there to sleep[00:03:17]
Left there to dream of their happiness[00:03:19]
