I light another cigarette, in the dance of fire and smoke
Orange embers faintly glowing and I can't breathe
But I feel you John, children playing softly in fields
And the sky gets dark, and the piano echoes
And I read words, poems burning through my skin
Experience and nature, staring into nothing
I feel the seconds remembering just a moment ago
But I've forgotten and I'm looking through my brain
I don't know where you went, although I'm waiting for you
Come back to me and show me your precious smile
Sweating in a cold room, you have no idea how I feel
How the pain lingers and the music caresses my bones
I could live in you, swim through you
Breathe into your shallow hopelessness and blink
And I think, and I think
You possess so much beauty unfound
Bristling notes of perfume in melodramatic dreams
Dyed-in-the-wool and pouring candlewax on your seams
It's a shame you don't know what love means
And you bite, and you bite
Biting hard at those impenetrable seeds
I want to stay here
But I think it's time to leave.
