I captured you, stole your soul in a photograph
To frame a moment that couldn't last
To hold it right here in my hands
I carry you but time is cruel and you only fade
Your corners curl and your edges fray
Your soul is still here in my hands
Endlessly, you're endlessly doomed to be incomplete
You say "come undone, run aground, this is the only way out"
Silently, you silently plead with me for release
You say "tear it up, tear us down, this is the only way out"
Your call to arms smokes me out of my hiding place
Burns my fingers to bare your face
I'm losing my grip and my pride
No false alarm could ever carry such certainty
Would ring on out so insistently
I loosen my grip on your light
Endlessly, we're endlessly doomed to be incomplete
You say "come undone, run aground, this is the only way out"
Silently, you silently plead with me for release
You say "tear it up, tear us down, this is the only way out"
As your features fall to pieces
3, 2, 1 you're gone, you are gone
Endlessly, we're endlessly doomed to be incomplete
So I come undone, run aground, this is the only way out
Silently, you silently plead with me for release
So I tear it up, tear us down, this is the only way out
