he doesn't know i left the key
to my heart under the mat
when sparkle comes to shine
God, you burn so bright
sear an insatiable hole into me
i wish i could believe
in a velvet heaven, so many
well-wishing lies
tears inevitably fall, so
come, headfirst into me
into oblivion, loving and inviting
no shoes + no pretenses
if i could trace it, a thousand paper cuts
in a dream somewhere, in heat
i could grace the ageless monster
waken her with love in my arms
does anyone believe me, i need you
slipping through files of pages of days
never seeing your face
prison, death, some unruly fate
the wires short circuiting
jumping like heartbeat skips
patterns i'm used to
drugs for the thinkers, unbelievers
