Granted

If god doesn't exist, no sin matters,

Nothing counts towards our karmic odyssey

Whether you die tomorrow or the day after, it doesn't matter

Because if god doesn't exist, this life,

Every second of it is all we have

Make the most of it

There's no such thing as a saint without a history

Or a sinner without a future

You chewed my heart out

But you did your best to put it back

Where it belongs

A situation like this does actually exist

The blue flame that outlined you on the day that we first met

Burnt me as much as the gilded band, that I now regret

As my heart was beating me

I understood you were a whole mess of trouble

It was spelled all over you

You chewed my heart out

But you did your best to put it back

Where it belongs

A situation like this does actually exist

We never gave up, we could never extinguish that blue flame

Always remember that a lie has speed

But truth has endurance

That moonless, star filled night we entrenched course correction

An alliance between east and west was shaped

We sealed it in white gold and a pledge to liquidate my pride

You chewed my heart out

But you did your best to put it back

Where it belongs

A situation like this does actually exist

I will spend the rest of my days,

To relieve the pressure on the payload you carry within
