And then there were none

And then there were none

at first there was one 1
just in your mind 2
a single perfection 3
you believed you would find 4

* throw away the rinds 5
in the webs of your mind 6
you destroyed quite a few 7
if you say so i did too 8
it's the only way 9
committed to the day 10
when you can say… 11

and then there were some 12
but it wasn't the same 13
before each had gone 14
better ones came 15

when it was then 16
you taught yourself more 17
about starting again 18
about your sweet lord 19

* 20

† gotta clear my head 21
stop playing dead 22
get some sun 23
maybe buy a gun 24
for our anniversary 25
i am sure 26
i am fucking sure 27

and then there were none 28
to visit your grave 29
now that it's done 30
i can be safe 31

the last of the last 32
the ex- turned to un- 33
the die was cast 34
and then there were none 35
