I can write you letters but I can’t pronounce your name.
Every time I try I just end up standing here ashamed,
Standing in your light, babe, no matter what I do.
Still, I can’t help but like to watch my shadow fall on you.

Chorus:
We all kill everything that we love.
We all kill every last thing that we love.
But we’re all dieing here though, so maybe that’s enough to know
That someone here is loving us.

Go and watch a brave man and his sword
Riding to some far off battle, some even farther off reward.
Then go and watch another fool with his kiss
Running from one to another trying to find what the last one missed.

I went out last night and watched an eclipse of the moon.
I didn’t even see the shadow move yet it was over so soon.
I couldn’t help but wonder, babe, is that all that we’re doing.
I couldn’t help but try to find some beauty in these ruins.
