a love for one

A love for one is a love for us all But will the shadows stand tall, or like us shall they fall Live more vibrantly in all shades of red For this greyscale now will not leave my head I've rejoiced, for this is the end But at what point does this become a godsend A machine to bring about a quiet end Is all that I ask if I slip into the deep end Rejoice, rejoice I lost my voice somewhere in the meadow that night Somewhere between the stage and the name that I once became But if I left it all, I wonder if I'd miss it I fear I will not, and it'll all have been for naught I've seen it twice before, though like all it's faded away In the Hollywood Hills, where they once came of age She is human, no doubt, but love and beauty pure Studied like an insect, and crushed upon the floor I've rejoiced, for this is the end But at what point does this become a godsend A machine to bring about a quiet end Is all that I ask if I slip into the deep end
