Rumors (Post-Apocalpytic Love Song) ... original song

inspired by Children of Men, 1984, Wall-E, Empire of The Sun, and all those other love stories set in a bleak landscape.

We were born to frolic
On these empty streets
Patterns in the ashes
Grayscale kings and queens

We were raised to wander
Plan our own escape
Under our old cities
To meet another day

Don't feel so far away

Love will fill our eyes again
Spreading like cancer, warm like skin
When you hear of wars and rumors of wars
I'll be your rescue when you call

I will pray for color
Green and rosy-gold
The sky will paint explosions
Then Ill get used to cold

Ill see you in flashes
Utter blinding lights
Time will push me forward
And burn away my sight

Don't feel so far away

Love will fill our eyes again
Spreading like cancer, warm like skin
When you hear of wars and rumors of wars
I'll be your rescue when you call

One day you'll be sober
Sleep your sorrow off
Trace a pathway homeward
Make no room for stops

My heart will be your tempo
Set your walking pace
Ever shrinking distance
Till we see face to face

Don't feel

I'll be your rescue when you call
