Reacquaintance

It's too late in the hour, it's too late in the day
It's too late in the year, it's too late in our lifetimes
I've given up searching for you on maps and timelines
The presence of your love exists beyond spacetime

How you can walk in with one heart and leave with three,
When the only people that are here are you and me?

I can't make us both happy, and I'm tired of trying
You can't be alone and in my arms at the same time
Lights from the ceiling of Heaven rain down around us
Reaching out to you one last time, as I return to dust

The hallways are tilted, and doorknobs have melted
With your heart like fire, I stuck my hand in and fell for it
I’ll just go to Hell with it, there’s no cure or spell for it
In this lake of fire, they can burn away my spirit
In a place so dark and crowded, no one can hear it

How you can walk in with one heart and leave with three,
When the only people that are here are you and me?

As I stare into the abyss, it all comes down to this
I clutch you to my chest, the only thing I have left
If I've lived before now, then I've already met death
This is only our reacquaintance

It's just me, death and the devil now
