Gold Cobra

Where have you gone love? what have you done?
You've been gone for a whole year, darling it's so clear
Kiddo, go slow

What'd you think the world it wouldn't change for you?
What'd you think I'd go and stay the same for you?

When you left home we drew figures of stars
Constellations that correlate with the contours of your face
We dropped into foxes holes & braced ourselves for the flood

What bleeding hearts we've become
We fall in love with anyone who can keep us
Warm with such a cold, limited reach
What foolish hearts we've become
We thought that we would feel the
Sea salty breeze in the cracks and the skin of our teeth
What crooked hearts hearts we've become
We kill ourselves in our sleep
Our waking thoughts are not ours, just a perception we keep
We callous hearts we've become
We thought that we could hold to
The changing tide we rode on, the changing tone towards defeat

What'd you think the world it wouldn't change for you?
What'd you think i'd go and stay the same for you?

I shared my last demands
In faith to you and no one else
And now that you're gone I
Can't describe my wait to anyone
And you came back with bags already packed
I'll never wait for you to be back again
And I hate the state I'm in but
Even more I hate the state you're headed towards

And I love you when I'm with you, but I'm not home
I feel the weight of the world when you say
"I'm your worst mistake."
