I need to tell you
Feeling a need to communicate something important.
Because it was the last time I was seen

We tried to save the world last fall

We did the best that we thought we could

And nothing

Nothing at all

Nothing

Nothing at all

We thought we did it the right way
Reflecting on the belief that the efforts were done correctly.
We saved up for months and then we gave it all away
Describing a sacrifice made, saving up for months and giving it all away.
We were angrier than you knew
Revealing hidden anger or frustration not apparent to others.
We got so sick of people telling us what to do
Expressing weariness of external influence or control.
And nothing
Reiterating the lack of accomplishment despite the effort.
Nothing at all
Emphasizing the absence of results.
Nothing

Nothing at all

And I was stolen

Along the same lines of your last bad dream

You need to know I
