I Would Have Stolen You a Whole Orchestra
from On Time Spent Waiting, or Placing the Weight of the World on the Shoulders of Those You Love the Most by Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)
lyrics
you carry all your weight-
tightly stretched across your face,
like evidence or proof that everything aged you
i measured steady breaths
(afraid of truth, or of being rebuked),
"what horrible things cling to you?"
i did not expect to get an answer at all
or for your to let your guard down
but either a ghost or a sigh escaped you
your color fled, though your resistance would not be moved
you said, "when you have given so much, so little remains.
like a wound that will never heal, all that's left is to wait"
tightly stretched across your face,
like evidence or proof that everything aged you
i measured steady breaths
(afraid of truth, or of being rebuked),
"what horrible things cling to you?"
i did not expect to get an answer at all
or for your to let your guard down
but either a ghost or a sigh escaped you
your color fled, though your resistance would not be moved
you said, "when you have given so much, so little remains.
like a wound that will never heal, all that's left is to wait"
