"From throat and eyes came winter and reasons

I'm told to carry on

Sad overwhelms, my senses drown

Oh, I feel dependent"

-Saosin "Mookie's Last Christmas"

The news travels like lightning

(or is thunder more accurate?)

and you fall with pain and frustration.

Three friends have lost their watches

and one is there but g-o-n-e.

But you shouldn't count him as a friend

because he's so much more than that.

x

Autumn falls into winter.

Winter sweeps into spring.

Spring blooms into summer.

Before you know it

years have passed

and, yet, you're still haunted by

the memory of grey.

And, yes, you know it's wrong

(so very wrong)

because he helped kill them.

But your heart has been

changed

branded

taken

by him.

(And love's supposed to be unconditional, right?)

x

You hear that he has escaped from the stone walls

and you're so damn confused.

You're putting flowers on their graves

but you still want to find him

(for all the wrong – right – reasons.)

Wolf pup, you need to decide

who owns your alliances.

x

Relief fills your veins

as you realize what the truth is

because now you don't have to choose

because now it's not heart over mind.

And when you see him

you smile like you used to

(like you haven't done in thirteen years.)

And when you "embrace like br(l)o(v)thers"

you know that this is where you belong.

The lyrics that I used that the beginning belong to the band Saosin and are from their song "Mookie's Last Christmas." It's an amazing song and if you listen to it just make sure Anthony Green is singing because Cove destroyed the song...

Yay for Remmuis!
