lyrics

I had forgotten to dream
Weeks before I met you
The characters I created had tunneled through my ears and landed on my shoulders
Eager to escape the gray block in my head filled with broken social cues,
pools of regret dotted with dry wit
They were over the chemicals,
tiny ovular builders reconstructing my thoughts like plastic smiles,
Like vomit the janitor covered with sawdust
But you kiss me to bruises on my neck that cover the scrapes the angel makes
As she punishes my wrongdoings
You steady my face to ease their travels, calming waves of seasickness
You pull my body close to form ladders from our hair like silk turning into houses for spiders
Ladders where trapeze artists can swing from your head to mine and grab my mouth with their magic hooks
Stretching to happiness
Finally breaking the skin I'd glued over thousands of times for good measure
You are the sand in my dreams
The obstacle between me and the oceanic darkness of my slumbering thoughts
