It's getting late and I'm soon to go to bed
I woke up without a reason to go on
A numbed imagination, a lost wish
Synthesized into your teardrops
And fervent desires never to go home.

Decry your happiness, your lovers,
But never claim it wasn't worth it.
Recall your chances, wasted or taken,
And your regrets or euphoria that followed.

From the first time I saw you
I'd kind of thought you were interesting,
But I didn't really care at first;
I'm not going to lie, no matter how romantic.

I think maybe I've forgotten how it once felt
To be enchanted by imagination and filled with hope
In a world driven by money and avarice
Especially since I failed once before.

Maybe it's time to try again,
Rebuild that bridge that I've always known
Was my ticket to a higher plane of existence
Though the Queen is dead, we can always have another.

You were crying when Leslie died
And when I remembered where I'd read it before
Silent tears began to brim in my eyes as well.
Yet they were cathartic, giving me
The strength to rebuild my own kingdom

No matter how low you once feel,
One night can change your mind forever
From knowing life has no meaning
To saturated with pre-storm electricity
Sitting, holding hands, and gathering the strength
To try again.
