you know things

just as candles
wax to dark
call me noah
and this my ark
begin with me
and we’ll depart
you know things
they fall apart

if entropy
must split the whole
if we’ve never
had control
i’d do it all
again of course
from the very start
you know things
they fall apart

so take my hand
in yours i knew
from the very first
that i would know
what it felt like
to feel so much
you burst

that’s all i asked
and what i got
now i’ll be fine
even if i’m not

for i have known
a swollen heart
and you know things
they fall apart.
