This world is simple
Lies add false complexity
Truth disentangles

I wrecked my world and left it all behind
I wrecked my world and left it all behind
I wrecked it all I don't know-oh why
I wrecked it all and left my world behind

She was a good woman, wife, and mother too
She held our child in her gentle hands
But I screamed and broke her gentle heart
So I jumped the train and never did look back

I broke every promise I had ever made
Failed at every job I ever had
It's better without me there and so is she
So why's she standin' at my door tobight?

I wrecked my world and left it all behind
I wrecked my world and left it all behind
I wrecked it all I don't know-oh why
I wrecked it all and left my world behind

She says she'll make it right and stay with me
But I know that life is poison in her veins
Her gentle hands and heart should not be mine
I'd wreck her world so I'll leave it behind

She cries as I am sending her away
I close the door pull the whiskey near
It's better if I fall apart alone
And let her have a life away from me

I wrecked my world and left it all behind
I wrecked my world and left it all behind
I left my world and know exactly why
I wrecked it all and left my world behind

She cries as I am sending her away
I close the door pull the whiskey near

(written as lyrics. No I have never had a wife. No I have never had a child. Also, I prefer vodka to whiskey)

And there,
upon the old and worn
the painted and the cracked
the concrete world
perched a goddess
a smile
to light chaos

Oh, that she knew I worshipped
Oh, that she heard the words
I tucked deep into my shadows
She was all that I loved
Though I was nothing to her

I move slow
It doesn't mean
I don't get places
It doesn't even mean
I don't get places fast
But I move slow
With long strides
and the world
Doesn't understand this

In slumber of winter
this world dreams
Crystalline
It shatters and scatters light
To dazzle those left awake
To share its dream
In moonlight unhindered
by clouds
Upon the frost it writes
Poetry
Upon the spirals of ice it sings
Of love though grown cold
Still beautiful
