Unmake the Universe
Unmake The Universe - (Love Lost)
Unmake the universe one atom at a time
Withdrawal before you make mistakes
Babies will come out wrong
Light waves move smoother in reverse
They wave goodbye faster than they came
Love at the atomic level moves on faith
When love is missing there goes the world
Voids open up their cavities of black
There goes the neighborhood and us
Swallowed up in nothing
Mysteries unravel as is their fate
They shrivel up and die in outer space
Tell the universe to stop, to listen
To remove minutes from the hours of the day
Subtraction is a mission to that end
Nothing was there in the beginning
Nothing but empty space between the ears
And now the space between us
Unmake the world in front of you
Remove smiles from the face
Wait for a chemical reaction
Love works best that way
The tide hides before it rises
It waves goodbye one last time
