Andropocene

used to be cool
calm too, me & you
the occasional clash
barely a splash, gone in a flash
But now it's strange
more heated exchanges, get more deranged
and with greater force
we're on a bad course, toward divorce(?)

Your temper is hotter
yet you are colder, all the same
the nagging thought of
the fact that I may be to blame

These hot emissions
with such repetitions, make these conditions
We blew our caps
with our mishaps, incurred collapse
the floodgates wide
the times we cried, intensified
There's no return
We're going to burn in this inferno

Your temper is hotter
yet you are colder, all the same
The nagging thought of
the fact that I may be to blame

My selfish greed
did supercede your wants and needs
And I don't know if I can fix it
it's like an addiction
affecting all I've known and loved
taking us under
I hear that thunder…

Your temper is hotter
My weight to shoulder, my crying shame
the nagging knowledge
that I'm the one to blame
