preset destiny

[Raz]

*the line tonight if we learn that the world's on fire/i guess i'd turn to you is taken from the presets' song if i know you...i heart the presets.

you know that song you like so much?

tonight if we learn that the world's on fire
i guess i'd turn to you

you always said that was romantic
you liked the image of two lovers
standing against the backdrop of the world
hand in hand
as the flames consume
beating even death
beating everything

but it's not romantic
it's just the way it is
it's another way of saying
you've hurt me too much
for me to find another

it's just the way it is.

you call me cynical
you say i don't see what's right in front of me
but in front is all that you see
you never see what's behind
what led us here
why we covered our tracks
and shuffled away blindly
hoping our paths would never again cross

that's the cycle
that's where this leads
this leads to us hating one another
and feeling sick
and feeling sorry
and beating ourselves up
and it would be so easy to break that this time
we just don't get back together
this time
and we don't have to go through that again
this time.

your myopic enthusiasm breaks something in my resolve every time
and this time is no different
and this time is one more time
i'll turn to you
while the world burns.

shite! that gave me goosebumps. no lie. i like it.

i must now check out the presets.

btw, i know you wrote that, but if it's inspired by them and i dug it that much, then i'm sure there's something to their music that i would dig as well. two thumbs up!
