If You Leave Me
If you leave me
The clouds will split open like coconuts
Acid milk will pour over your cities
Lightning will flash, skinny like my fingers
I will pry through the sky to reach you
I will travel through time to reach you
If you leave me
The wolves will howl
They will come for your flock of sheep
Blood will spill, dark like my hair
It will spread into your rivers
It will spread into your veins
If you leave me
Storms will follow
Crashing against the coast of Sarasota
Searching for you
You will be haunted by agony
You will be haunted by memories
If you leave me
I will cry an ocean
But if you don't
I will crumble to pieces
We will die if we part
We will disappear if we stay
