Divided Unity

Beautiful Beings

Hey, hey! Remember every day

We've been through life and death and everything in between

I could run it down but damn, I don't think I could make a clean sweep

Lock me in a panic room where my demons all sleep

Roll me up like old papers that we throw into the flames

Coming down from Roscommon with an uncommon name

Drink the vodka in the cupboards, raid for crackers in the fridge

While our mothers go enjoy themselves after we sweep the lake

Cat mugs and expired corner store sandwiches on fires

Of report cards, cardstock hearts, first grade memories

C'est la vie, mon ami, let's go burn some demon candles

Shaped like cats til the wax hits the snow and the handles

Of your bike by the intersection where we once drew

Ohio and Michigan making purple from their red and blue

Going through the drive thru for some donuts at 2

As the policeman drives by right before we make our climb

Up an abandoned McDonald's, poking fun at White Castle

Introducing the mafia while we're downing goldfish and salsa

Looking out for another girl's streetlamp with the moths and the loops

Bring a rose by while we bring on the arson at our old school hoops

Light up a whole field and stomp in the blaze

Vandalize every electrical box that stands in my way

Santa was here and so were we burning away our past

Handstands and old bayonets made to last

Watch that Christmas sunrise and break half your foot

Fall off your bike in slow motion and revel in the soot

Murder some pedestrians clad in all black

Climb up blocked ladders and never come back

Eat some teabags up north and fling feathers and hats

While we try every method to get up on the roof

Beneath parking lot lights in the emptiness of it all

Gift me a Valentine's dragon outside of our halls

Calligraphy pens and Spyfall's debut

Rearrange some flowerpots and take the short way through

Heavy home bases for children like you

Phallic cats in the field in the dirt beneath your shoes

Cop sirens and drug deals right by where we'd hide

With the decades-old peanut butter under the slide

Dreaming of hospital visits in time

To make memes in retrospect, empathy divine

I sang you my songs and I'm amazed that you listened

Fresh footsteps in the snow as the moonlight glistens

What else am I missing? Hell, I don't know

I'm just thinking of Halloween fires in the snow

And our jokes of self-storage, and all of that jazz

Roasting cars and their owners for lacking all class

Like I said, we've been through life, death and everything

Fluent conversations in vines while you're high on morphine

Together we've seen what no other eyes will ever see

Together you and I are beautiful beings
