girl problems

Let's rehash this
you never know
when it'll be the last time
That girl is a monument
built with ancient hopes
That girl is the stratosphere
so far from here
she's on another planet
she's in the summer rain
she's sending you postcards
with no return address
That girl is accelerating
transforming and dying
faster than you can comprehend
If you have something to say
you'd better lay it down
because tomorrow
is a thousand years away

You sold your hope
to the burning masses
kept your words close
because you knew the truth
walked so many miles of pain
saw so many die
during each refrain
Your sin is written
with a pen of iron
and graven on your heart
with the point of a diamond
but no one is judging you
These are your hands
covered in blood
lick them clean
because tomorrow is another crime
waiting for a perpetrator

That girl is a promise rejected
the memory of something
left behind
but you're not paying any attention
You got what you wanted
the rest lay useless
in your shaking hands
So tell me
this time
it's going to be different.
