about

This track, like "Illustrious," was written while The Space Between was still intact. It originally made its debut at our final show in more or less the form it appears in here.

lyrics

Here I go. Here I go again.
I'm crossing the line of what's expected of friends.
Don't leave me now. Won't you stay for awhile
And make flowers bloom with your painfully bright smile?

Pigs in shining armor have such great disguises.
Maybe you'd come closer if I would just try less.
We could dance forever--I mean, if you want to--
And look up at the stars; we'd have us to talk to.

Write your sweet name on my paper headstone
With sincerity insincerely homegrown.
Don't leave me now. Please silence my screams
That only occur while only in dreams.
