Franklin Bruno - Just Because It's Dying lyrics

rate me

You don't stop loving something<br />

just because its dying, do you?<br />

You keep on hoping it will live.<br />

<br />

As when you first discovered<br />

that your lover's lying to you,<br />

and look for reasons to forgive.<br />

<br />

When you see the fireworks fizzle,<br />

hit the lake, and start to sizzle,<br />

don't you wish for one last missile <br />

to illuminate the sky? So do I.<br />

<br />

Some people lead a crippled dream out back to shoot it<br />

at the very first suspicion that it's lame.<br />

Others let theirs limp along, although their legs aren't very strong<br />

while there's a single, shaky step left in their frame.<br />

You don't stop loving something<br />

simply out of shame.<br />

<br />

Although the laws of motion <br />

don't just stop applying to you<br />

and everybody comes to rest,<br />

you don't stop loving something<br />

just because it's dying, do you?<br />

You press the clappers to its chest.<br />

<br />

Turn the knobs and flick the switches<br />

swear you'd give up untold riches<br />

for a fusillade of twitches to uncannily occur.<br />

Now watch it stir.

<br />
