Longevity

Words and Music by Clementine

A mighty obsession
A pitiful passion
I used to croon in a choir
Now I dance with the rascals

Promises the Earth
But rooted in oblivion
The glorious lamp of Heaven
Being forced to extinction

Your longevity in my heart
Now appear as a handicap
I can’t function no more
The butterflies are long gone
Now there’s a crow picking on my brain
And I have seen it all before

My first taste of prison
Beneath the cold hands of illusion
The wine you so treasure
Has aged into something vicious
Oh, hideous…

Your longevity in my heart
Now appear as a handicap
I can’t function no more
The butterflies are long gone
Now there’s a crow picking on my brain
And I have seen it all before

Like old flames in the fire
Doing their last dance
Soon they will flicker no more
Soon the wind will blow
And dance us out of this common room we call Love

Your longevity in my heart
Now appear as a handicap
I can’t function no more
The butterflies are long gone
Now there’s a crow picking on my brain
And I have seen it all before

Longevity…
