To Die To Sleep

To die, hm

To sleep, hm, hm

Oh, to love

Oh, to love against your will

To feel forever in hands

That will surely become dust

Oh, to cling like magnets to moments

That time will erase

To fade into one other

And forget you once existed alone

To be so present

That the future disappears into the past

Where it all makes perfect sense

And the dotted lines connect

Oh, to be thankful for this pain

That lead you to these arms

Where time cannot enter

And suffering cannot penetrate

To sing with notes that no voice can conjure

How helpless we become in love

How perfect we feel when we let go, uh

And let flesh become soul

To free of ourselves

And be whole for just a moment

Embers burning endlessly

Romeo, Romeo

Oh, wherefore art, wherefore art thou Romeo?

Oh, oh, to forget that all things end

To burn on love like suns in the abyss

Every breath and eternity

Every kiss is the first

Every day the last

Every touch a black hole

That not even time can escape

What is this magic we possess?

What is this spell binding us together?

Oh, to be lost and devoured

Porcelain willing to shatter

And end up broken and unfulfilled

Fractured into chapters so complete

They can never be completed

Oh, to chase Heaven through Hell

Until, at last, you've forgotten where you are

Sailing and destined and rudderless

Like feathers in a hurricane

Go insane with me, love

Let us both go mad if it means just one more moment like this

Again and again

A broken record looping into infinity

Drown with me, love

Pull me under like a sinking ship that once knew its course

Devour me

Burn through me like a wildfire

And if all that I am is ashes in the end

Then be dust

That had reason to exist

Dust

That chased eternity

Into dust

That we became

Dust

That can forever say

We were love

(Dust)

(Oh, love, love)

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, to dust

To dust, dust, dust

To die, to sleep

No more, and by a sleep to say we end

The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to

'Tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd, oh

To die, to sleep

Oh, to sleep, perchance to dream, ay, there's the rub

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil

Must give us pause

There's the respect that makes calamity of so long life

To die, oh, to sleep

To die, oh, to sleep
