What We Loved Was Not Enough

The world itself consumed
Man, that's the only truth
And what we loved was not enough
Even though we wanted to.

I learned it sick in bed
Mining golden vapours
Regrets like charms laid end to end
And other sweet divinities
And other sweet divinities
And other sweet divinities.

And this I learned and thus I gleaned
What we loved was not enough
But kiss it quick and rise again
Kiss it quick and rise again
Kiss it quick and rise again
Kiss it quick and rise again.

What we loved was not enough
But kiss it quick and rise again
What we loved was not enough
But kiss it quick and rise again.

And the day has come when we no longer feel
And the day has come when we no longer feel
And the day has come when we no longer feel
And the day has come when we no longer feel.

There'll be war in our cities
And riots at the mall
There'll be blood on our doorsteps
And panics at the ball.

All our cities gonna burn
All our bridges gonna snap
All our pennies gonna rot
Lightning roll across our tracks.

All our children gonna die
All our children gonna die
All our children gonna die
All our children gonna die.

Then the west will rise again
Then the west will rise again
The west will rise again
The west will rise again.

So goodnight vain children
Tonight is yours
The lights are yours
If you'd just ask for more
Than poverty and war
If you'd just ask for more.

What we loved was not enough
What we loved was not enough
What we loved was not enough
What we loved was not enough.
