Until All The Lights Are Gone

We fall into it without resistance -
Reflecting in brilliant blue,
And I am made of words.
Time passes in stops and starts,
And we reshape ourselves -
Tracing lines that bleed
And living alongside Death;
Liquid blindness - suspended, bleeding,
Waiting for something that never comes.
Still falling,
I\'m dreaming of a long highway -
Breathing in your touch
And driving until all the lights are gone.
Let\'s go East.
And we never needed anything
Like we needed this pain -
Blame the nights
We couldn\'t handle the dark.
Is this what it felt like before?
Voices soft like serpents -
A prayer we don\'t know
Which way to send.
Brutal and perfect,
It\'s the last thing I\'ll ever do for you.
All around us like air,
It gives us grace -
And makes way for something greater.
