At our school
Near the retirement home
Higher and higher
Into the clouds
Under ashy fumes
Of the crematorium
Middle of the day
swingin’ on the tree
Give me your hand and go faster
‘Cause the abyss is getting deeper
Back in your room
Haunted delusions
Don’t want to leave
I’ll stay here with you
You were my friend
Inherited a magic box
a spell on the world
Only the two of us
Chorus:
Now the ground burns even brighter
Take the swing and push it forward
Bridge:
You were my friend
My borderless friend
We had so much fun, so much fear, so much sadness
And there was black, and there was white
No grey, you drove away, missed your jokes and your nightmares
Bound to eachother
Time slips away
Hope and dismay
Equal like twins
When I resist
You will have taken
The twelve o’clock train.
