You win. Case closed.

it's too cold outside
for angels to fly
angels to fly...
ripped gloves, rain coat
tried to swim and stay afloat
dry house, wet clothes
loose change, bank notes
weary-eyed, dry throat
call girl, no phone
and they say
she's in the Class A Team
stuck in her daydream
been this way since eighteen
but lately her face seems
slowly, sinking, wasting
crumbling like pastries
and they scream
the worst things in life come free to us
cause' we're just under the upperhand...
with a deep breath, he stood firmly and knocked on the door, returning his hand to his pocket. winter had rolled around not too long ago, though it was still as freezing as ever. it was supposed to be the coldest winter yet. he had waited several minutes without an answer, and grew furiously worried.
"hello?" he called, banging on the door. still no answer. concern built up inside his chest, and his heart pounded. eventually, he got enough strength to actually knock down the door. he frantically searched every foot of the house, screaming her name. he had ran up the stairs to reveal a closed door. the only closed door in the house.
he froze, afraid of what might beyond the door... he slowly grabbed the doorknob and twisted it. the door swung open, to reveal her laying on the floor. she didn't move at all. an open bottle of pills were spilled on the windowsill, as he was completely frozen like a statue... and so was she.
it's too cold outside
for angels to fly
an angel will die
covered in white
closed eye
and hoping for a better life
this time, we'll fade out tonight
straight down the line...
he stood with his hands curled behind his back, choking back tears as he stared down her coffin. people were crying, they just added to this problem. how was he to calm everyone down? none of them were his real family, but after he met her... he felt like part of their family. he quietly walked around the coffin, running his fingers along the engravings on each side, the brass handles.
her eyes were closed, her skin was pale, and she fakely held a bouquet of roses loosely to her chest. somehow, she was as beautiful as ever. he leaned down and quietly whispered, kissing her forehead,
"i'll always love you."
he knew he would break down by the middle of the ceremony, so with that, he turned and his feet sunk into the grass. people were looking at him, but he wasn't looking directly at anyone. he was looking through them. he left the funeral, with no keepsake of her. he drove to her house, and invited himself inside and up to her room. he cleaned up the pills on the windowsill and sat where she sat last, caressing her bed sheets.
the things they used to do together rushed to the front of his mind.
oh, the good times they had... all gone. it was all for nothing...

I'll survive in the end, you know
When everything perishes - when it dies
The landscape will wax as snow
Though the plot line mortifies.
What is black? What is white?
Misfire clutches our haven tonight
Headlands piebald with cherry delight
As denizens suffer their ignorant blight.
"I remember how it used to be"
I shan't escape that phrase
Loved ones corrupt by hate
The planet ours to raze.
I don't quite know if this is right
But to be honest, I don't care
Your arguments are far too trite
The artillery's already there.
It's not as though I enjoy this abyss
I'd take the bullet for anyone
They say ignorance is form of bliss
Yet I don't want to run.
Are we worth it, do you suppose?
Do we amount to all the damage
Keep telling yourself that, my dry rot rose
They're the ones so savage.
It's better that we end it soon
Their cataclysmic repetition
And spare generations a world of ruin
I wish I could like my own volition.
So I'll wave farewell to humanity
And I have my reason
To end this yawning insanity
Despite this half-lit treason.
Goodbye, goodbye, my hateful friends
The world is just too steep
I'm afraid your deeds have met their ends
My minds bullet lies too deep.
