The Outskirts

Do you trust me
Run
Run
Run
Do you trust me

I saw her standing on the edge of a cliff, the sky was black
The city glowing in the distance
Neon lights and flickering stars unfolding in the outskirts
Searchlights out behind us, fading reds and blues
We had nothing left to lose and everything to run from
She stared deep into my eyes as she held my heart in her hands
Do you trust me
Faced by the crushing waves, I knew she had a plan
The ships exploded in the sky, and moonlight shone from the ocean
And all that she said was run, run run
Into the distance, in the outskirts

She held my hand, and we ran and ran
And the clouds parted, and the black ship came down from the sky
Crashed in front of us, exploding into a billion pieces
And the fire, and the brimstone, and the city burned in front of our eyes
And there she was, aglow in the night
And she kissed me

Dim the lights, dim the lights after I'm gone
In the ties, you shall hear my song
Raise your fists up to the sky
Drunk up fast before you die

Her fingers slipped, her hands drew cold
And her light was gone
