don't forget we were frozen when the fire started
our limbs were earthbound nightjars
lost in pictures of space and time, aching inside
oh, how we tried
oh, how we tried to escape these waters
devouring tides
with lights in our mouths
everywhere I turn, I see your face burning
through threads of static
swallowing the fires aglow in thy eyes
cemetery of sombre nights
oh, how we tried to outrun ourselves
devouring tides
with lights in our mouths
sandslides trickle through my hands
worn-out disguise, reborn
time, I say, this is not the way I intended to go
but I like this unchartered territory of happy loneliness
forest magic lingering
a secret admirer shrouded in dark shadows
truth in hyper dimension
a place where no one knows my name
hanging from the trees like a medallion
dazed by your footprints, your footfall echoing
there's something romantic about death
the gliding nothingness behind the eyes
fading into blue light
oh, how we tried, oh, how we tried
devouring tides
with lights in our mouths.
