lyrics

Romance shot out of a cannon one summer
My muse swiftly drowned in the lake
Her death brought relief cause her birth was a bummer
Feels like I’m starting to break

Try as you might, you plead and you fight and cast away every stone
One big mistake, being plastic and fake, left without room to atone

Wasn’t it lovely
The time that we shared
Still pouring my soul out
Still nobody cares
Nobody cares

Catapult the dirt with love, tail gunner
Dredge up the bed where she lay
Buckling knees as you drive in the shovel
The water accelerates decay

And on through the night, you sing with delight, now a crowd crowds the shore in dismay
Crippling cold like a joke that’s grown old in room filled with nothing to say

Wasn’t it lovely
The time that we shared
Still pouring my soul out
Still nobody cares
Nobody cares

Resurrection seems to be shrouded with trouble
Unlikely to get a fair shake
Caked with disease and heart full of bubbles
Unsure how to prod her awake

A soft lullaby, without a reply, the melody crests with the waves
There is no machine, that can un-dream a dream or save the damned from their watery graves

Wasn’t it lovely
The time that we shared
Still pouring my soul out
Still nobody cares
Nobody cares
