A Mineral Love

Pick the glass out of the broken picture frame
Wipe the blood off the photograph
You write in soot your name across the wall
Your finger blackened by a candle flame.

Acting like you deserved it
But feeling like you don't need it
Speaking highly of purgatory
Then you start to cry into your wine.

Acting like you deserved it
But feeling like you don't need it
Then you start to cry into your wine.

An hourglass shatters and scatters the sand
Along with evergreen fairy tales
Tinted blue sings a heart that's bruised
But tinted rose speaks a mind that's closed.

Looking up through a stained glass telescope
You see a loveless Venus
You fail to see that there's a mineral love in you
Then you drown yourself in wine.

Looking out through your stained glass telescope
You saw an endless darkness
You failed to see that there's immortal love in you
Then you drowned yourself in wine.
