I’ve got a pretty message
In an envelope of glass
Tied with tattered string
And no return address
Wrinkled in perfection
A promise kept on high
Drowning in obsession
Drawn into all the lies
Love that started slipping
Is taking back it’s claim
Hopes that started fading
Are clearing up again
Believing in unreality
Dreams built around the cracks
Catching up with his mortality
He’s never coming back
All the memories on rewind
The hole stays incomplete
All our plans replaying
As I put them on repeat
Stayed alive just long enough
Saved from death inside
Life sustained on only love
When the other half just died
And I got a message in a bottle
Desperation in every word
When he mailed it to the address
“Where ever you can find her.”
