hearts bleed secrets
cutting lines
living in circles
can make you blind
there have been hints
written in the sky
that are hard to read sometimes
worlds collided from there to here
on chance shaped by
background noise
and spilled ink
no gimmicks
no roadside flairs
nothing is what it ever was
chrome cities
shiny toy guns
fucked up love suicide missions
that was then, this is now
new abandon temples to hollow out
but not alone
the wanting to
hide behind raspberry bushes
and reshape the sun, with you
get drenched in syrup
from your smile
feed on energy
from burning planets
from words that escape our lips
that may not last forever
i don’t know what this all means
but time is never lost
when the nights are young
when sleepless hours
break walls made of glass
silence always reveals the truth
but i’m here to say out loud
maybe someday i can touch your face
and call you mine
