I watched the rain fall from our roof
and you saw the writing on the wall.
If the clouds never break, never settle again,
I'll keep the doors locked and we can never pretend that
I heard the sirens at our door.
I'm not ready. I'm engulfing
all the things we left for nothing.
This is what I want and tha'ts enough for me.
I'm dying to stay so just let me be.
My heart is in place and now I can see everything.
The attic flooded within days.
We lived on islands washed ashore.
When they found us, I looked pale and left searching for food.
When the days got shorter, they were already through and
they came and took us both away.
Above the surface it gets cold.
The light grows brighter. We get old.
Our kingdom has been taken away.
We're safe, but miss it all the same.
