“At war with the world, yet worlds apart.
To return is a promise I can’t make.
You see, we together have The Callous Heart,
Because Callous Hearts don’t break.”

Do you recall when you’d lay on my chest?
Now where you once slept just lays such an emptiness.
We’re going through this phase where we feel nothing.
Making out with ‘loneliness’,
Cheating on each other with ‘regret’.

We’re so forgettable and miserable,
So I wrote for you a chorus to end it all.

And in the rain, I screamed your name.
So darling, just you shut your pretty mouth.
I know I mean nothing to you now.

Do you recall when he had you undressed?
So young and so blessed, a letterbomb with no address.
You were young and nameless, guilty but blameless.
We woke the neighbours screaming at the weather once again.

And all the colours bleed in on themselves and I’m left so cold.
When all I wanted was a hand to hold to watch the world explode.
I was all of the things that you always dreamt and then never did.
All of the lives that you could have led but then never lived.

The midnight kids.
