The last song we wrote for the album. It serves as a more artsy and ambitious entry and provides some closure.

The Bass line going up in complete contrast to the rhythmic guitar chords is something that I didn't plan out but just came out of the ether.

This version of the Chorus is like an anti-matter version of the previous one, originally derived off the previous chorus we reverse the structure and then re harmonized.

I didn't mean for this part to be like a "guitar solo", We usually try to weave these in with lyrics, but it sure turned out that way in the end.

You've Always Been Wonderful
	
		(X)
		
		It's graverot, green gangrene, much like a disease. * Does it still count as a rhyme if the words are spelled differently? *
		This is unwellness.
		I never left the cemetery I led her to leave me in.
		She'll never visit.
		And that haunts me.
		Wellness whispers
		
		And sorrow screams.
		I wanna see you every day: today, tomorrow, next month and next year.
		Always.
		
		I wanna be part of your everyday.
		This moment, and all the rest.
		I was almost Romeo.
		
		I still want to melt into you, to tell you what it's been like.
		I hoped, I prayed, even did tarot.
		What else 
		
		Could I do?
		You linger in me still.
		I let us both down.
		I can't say that, though. 
		The time is past.
		
		It's been so long yet I'm still stuck in the past.
		The you I remember is just a folktale.
		How could I ever have said that to a stranger?
		How could I tell a stranger I loved her?
		I spoke to her.
		
		Yes, I spoke to her, and I still cannot believe it.
		Can you believe it?
		Fourteen long months, twenty miles apart, but an ocean away.
		I confessed my love for her, and I doubt I'll ever see her again.
		I'll never see her again.
		To be honest, I was hoping for a miracle, but no, this was my greatest defeat.
		There's a million things.
		
		There are still a million things I want to say to you, and I'll only get to say that - once -
		
		One thing once.
		It seems I'll have to carry the rest, involuntarily.
		For my ears only.
		
		You told me this would all be better in a few months.
		Who knew I'd be here sixteen months later, writing the eighth song devoted to the absence I feel of you?
		It's laughable.
		
		A cosmic joke. 
		Ha.
		Ha.
		Ha.
		
		* cheeky tasty lead *
		
		Oh darling, you are my 1408. * with John Cusack *
		This shit's like Return Of The Living Dead. * you know, the one where the dead are basically undying? *
		In the afterlife I'll ask you 
		
		In our next lives to do it.
		For real, for life.
		For now I'm resigned to merely wish you the best.
		And I fucking 
		
		Wish for that.
		You're the Universe's greatest work of art.
		I see the light in you, my eyes have undilated. * Too little, too late. *
		You've always been wonderful.
		
		You've always been wonderful.
		Farewell.
		
		-- love. --
