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
