The Hospital Scene

Before you awake on the shoreline
A terrible ocean of red
The tears that I've saved
And your hand on my face
I relinquish my grip on your neck
Before you do battle with monsters
Triumphantly tear them apart
Your battery's dry
But they come back to life
And your Eva just doesn't restart

Before the world ends
And everyone's dead
I felt as close to you as I'll ever get
By your hospital bed

Before there's a shred of suspicion
Of how you are using your phone
It clearly displays
There was something erased
But the content will be never be known
Before I take interest in minerals
My quartz was my secret to keep
I threw them away
For a promise you'd stay
I can feel your warmth while I sleep

Before I forget what loving you meant
Before I forgive myself for all this regret
How I ran away and just abandoned my friend
That all lay ahead
At your hospital bed

Before I forget what loving you meant
Before I forgive myself for all this regret
How is it possible that this is the end?
This grief and denial I can never accept
Before I forget what loving you meant
Before I forgive myself for all this regret
Here's one more bargain that I haven't tried yet
Can we start again
From your hospital bed?
