Plunge

When the sky stood still
And the sun never fell
That warehouse on the hill
Had all but disappeared
No, it grew into a black void in the ground
Well, when we could live forever
Perhaps the black hole bookended time
I knew you'd only be mine
And everything I'd dreamt had no limit
Until I grew tired of my own existence
But never of you
We could never die, never age again
Never grow, never wither, never bend
So what was the point
Some cannibalized themselves for the thrill
Some plunged into the black hole at the end of time
It's such a great weight to be the final men
When really we're all just looking to God
As lost children, praying for some fictional salvation
I wonder if it was a test, or just the equilibrium of it all
When something ends, surely something begins
Trapped here, you'd think it bliss
Yet I fear we're better off swallowed by the abyss

We reach the warehouse on the hill
You are awake now
It's odd how still the source of the violence really was
I remark as I grab your hand looking at the horizon
As my attention to the gray sky fades
I meet your jade eyes
And I understand you're ready
And as we step into nowhere
Locked in an embrace
In the darkness
I'll keep you warm
I'll keep you safe from harm
