Destined to Pretend

I heard your summer spirit sing In bathing suits on Orca's Beach At night the bay swallowed me You're an arm length away, but out of reach All my thoughts at once were tangled As my soul unspooled like a string Here all eternal moments wait Is it a myth that I create? Can we find a way to mend? Are we just destined to pretend? Super massive stars explode On July the 4th, all time slowed You said you hated me, but I didn't know The collapse you felt around your soul Above our own heads heaven dangles Hung up by the thinnest string Here all eternal moments wait In the hell that I create The darkened skies descend Are we just destined to pretend? I felt your summer spirit leave The night the light left Orca's Beach By the bay I strain to see What light is left for you and me When we were near, our bodies tangled When we were here, our eyes believed Here all eternal moments wait Your hair fell on my face On the horizon light ascends Are we just destined to pretend?
