flash bulbs and broken lights
I remember seeing you lying there,
outlined in white–
your tribute to youth, beauty
all those things we idealize yet never see
all your granteds taken for–
both the things you took from me

please tell me
that you're happy there

people mill around
and stare
the caution tape is just a thin membrane seperating life from death
flesh from concrete
my life from yours
our life that never was
it's all so simple, written down in black and yellow

streetlights are blinking nearby
it seems like the whole city's here
looking at the kid who fell from the sky
I don't pretend I understand any of it
your freefall towards eternity in the space of five seconds
left me repeating "what the hell?"
what the hell?

here baby
let me fix your wings
you are my little one
I'll take you to a place where the impact won't echo
give me one more breath

I'm coming to the graveyard to
sing you back from sleep
