You list the words that would build a brighter future
Your hands extend opening a portal of light
But time is twisted willful and sometimes wicked
Cruel design threads its needle through our lives

Decisive and divine

In this world where each step is a landmine
You are

Do what you gotta do
Come on back and see me when you can

Man I can understand how it might be
Kinda hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
I've loved you better that your own Kin did
From the very start i

We drink on a dime
We travel on a dime
We work for a dime
Then we dance for the limelight

Legs line the wall to the bathroom stall
It's the square who throw shade as they pass our way
We've got colours on display and we ain't ashamed
We know this is a game ya, and w

Treading in the dark
Liquid rising
No horizon
I don't know where the half of me went that was you
The tinted glasses my prescription for the future

The only tender's what's left within
Shapes and forms devoid of meaning
An aura of pain that radiates
A beacon to

Travel stole our lives away as we traversed this space
Our choices dissolving like rain eroding the roots we hoped would stay
Still we could suspend time while your eyes held mine

Well we both know this fire
It was fuelled by desire
I conspire to be close to you
In the

I'll see in anyone
This means that I am closer
We will be friends for real

You make me laugh
In silence your eyes
Smiling we find humour here

Now I see why
The world could be flat
I can trace that line from the cliffs down to the ground
Each pebble its own

We come from a line of powerful women

History says a lifetime is short
But it can be well spent
She knows it's a ride
It stops where it stops ya
The sights are the sights

Still sometimes it breaks her heart
Still sometimes it fills her eyes in the dark of the nigh

Changed like a reptile in the shifting light
Tongue unraveling new illusions
Were these true colours or was I deceived
Did they just pop against your new backdrop

I fold over revision, revision, revision
Revision, revision, revision
And in each version I ask what could

The first breath is arresting
We don't all come full circle at the turn of time

This chalice has a poisoned rim
We sink cognizant and comfortable
Knowing that there is no win
And the man who's a boy can protect the impregnable
Still we all lose some days
That's just

We chase all the fear that's chasing us
Under the blue of the Moon we repeat it's tune
We fly down the city streets at night
Freedom's catch twenty two by the time it's noon

We move to the groove of the final days
Creatures brought bare by desire and longing
Championed

This old cold winter
Like my bones it lives in me
Sometimes I call it home
The same way it hurts to grow

Push through the pain
So your heartstrings don't freeze
Keep your heart warm
So you make it to spring

In the meantime the bleak will shift into white
