One Last Thing (For Four Romanticidals) / The One I Love [hidden track]

from Romanticide [EP] by The Last Domino

/

about

How could I write an album about fictional characters who die for reasons surrounding love and not include a Romeo & Juliet reference?? Call me pretentious, whatever. The magnificent Peregrine Bosler lent me her unique voice for the Juliet lines. Though the song is about as depressing as you can get, I like to think it's very beautiful as well.

lyrics

ONE LAST THING (FOR FOUR ROMANTICIDALS)

With my lips on the barrel
My aim calm and true
As the shell shouts its carol
The last thing I see is you

I recline alone by the fire
For thirty years, it warmed you too
From this world I retire, and
The last thing I see is you

"When you drank from the vial"
"And your knife plunged right through"
"We both froze in a smile, because"
"The last thing I saw was you"

THE ONE I LOVE

You'll always be the one I love
You'll always be the one I love
You'll always be the one the stars shine brightest above
Yeah, you'll always be the one I love

And it's high time I told you
That I will never see
Anyone as beautiful
As you've always looked to me

You'll always be the one I love
You'll always be the one I love
You'll always be the one I'm sure to be dreamin' of
Yeah, you'll always be the one I love

For us I don't know what's in store
If we're just lovers, or if we are meant for more
But I'll tell you one thing that's for sure
You'll always be the one I write cliché lyrics for

You'll always be the one I love
You'll always be the one I love
You'll always be the one, when push comes down to shove
You will always be the one I love
Yeah, you'll always be the one I love
