maybe

The dust has settled, blood spilled

I can finally see clearly the mistakes I have made

We were once gods and we loved this life

How did we fall so far?

Love is such a beautiful mystery

So beautiful it hurts

And hurts and hurts

My ears are ringing

I can't hear the useless cries

What happened to that melody floating along the plumeria-filled air?

Beckoning peace of mind

Peace of mind

Peace of mind

We betrayed our words

But maybe we knew all along

Numbly walking into the fire

Surrendering to our habits

And hiding behind pretty prose and angst-ridden songs

I hurt you

I hate myself

Maybe you'll forgive me

But maybe I can't
