I, I gazed upon the earth
Observed every faulted line
And time
She moved so slow
It taxed my feeble mind
And I waited impatient for something to come around
Did you know I was there?
Did you know what I needed?
How, how long
How, how long
Did I stand in the garden with my breath against the leaves
As the trees bowed down and weeds
Would gather around my legs up to my knees
How, how long
How long
How long
I, I gazed into your eyes
The day you promised you could lie forever
This way
Your hand in mine and the stars singing our names
And I waited impatient for something to come around
Did you know what it meant?
Did you know we were fading?
How, how long
How, how long
Did we lie in the soil
With our arms and legs tangled up
Like the weeds and the branches of the trees
That bound our souls and legs to the ground below
How, how long
How long
How long
Didn't mean to take you down
Didn't mean to take you down
I thought you'd wanna stay
I thought we would be fine whatever came our way
Didn't know my world was dark
Didn't know my world was dark until you came
And you wilted with the lack of sun
Falling prey
To the weight
And dissaray
Now you know how it felt
Now you know why I needed it
How wrong
How wrong
You assumed that I could make you feel it was worth it
But all I ever did was drag you down
And bring you in and out through hell again
My goddess of light, and spring and all things good
How wrong
How wrong
Before you break down and fly away with your spirit
And mine in tow and leave me below with all
The fates and shades and the river passing through
But I never could blame you
