Christmas was meaningless, New Year's Day
Goodbye to everyone, I'm not afraid
Lion knocks at the door, let him in
I don't care anymore, I can't win
Receipt from the drug store, just in case
Made sure that it will work, my blue face
Two floors above the ground, there I spin
I don't care anymore, I give in
Pierre was aware
The beast in the room had always been there
Pierre falls without fear
That was the first time a meal volunteered
Sitting above in the loft, drug-erased
My last living moment, smile on my face
At least, I can have peace, start the fall
The beast waiting for me, unhinged jaws
Pierre to his surprise
Sees familiar puppy dog eyes
"Zero, my friend! I've missed you the most!"
The boy and his dog reunited as ghosts
"I'm so happy that you are here today
I would like it if we had time to play
But there's something more that I need to say
Though I left you so many years ago
Always I love you and you're not alone
Waiting by her phone, distant Scorpio
I was very sick and I watched you cry
Sometimes it can hurt just to be alive
But you can, you could, yes, you will survive
Never meant to leave you so suddenly
Felt your wish for me, sobbing privately
Now that I am here, will you promise me?
Don't you cry for me, you won't let me down!
It's not time for you to lie in the ground
What am I to do to care for you now?
I must hurry now, our time's ending soon
In my final thought that I share with you
Before I return you back to that room
Leave this world and you leave a hole
The shape of your quixotic soul"
We kiss goodbye, "Oh, I know you're strong
Your flaws will pen their favorite songs
You will meet with your friend again
But not until your story ends
Your blood still beats and I know, I checked
Now's your chance, release your neck!"
The ball has dropped, the couples kiss
Another holiday I've missed
My foot is reaching for the stairs
My lungs are nearly drained of air
"Yes! I'm here! The cord is slack
My love, my life, I want it back."
I catch my breath then hear a bark
"Are you still there?" I ask the dark
Between my fingers a clump of fur
A howl that no one else had heard
The beast whose maw could swallow Earth
A curse, a breath, a life, a birth
These days I'm living very differently
Above that dog is always watching me
An indifferent god who left me to die
That old friend of mine brought me back to life
So I say to you, if you're like Pierre
You must find your truth, I can't take you there
This is my story and I have to share
You are somebody and somebody cares
