scratch my tongue and hear my song
fall beside me with your laughing eyes
there’s spaces in my head you can’t fill
not even your ghosts can find the corners
please play a part in my love forever

my life follows after the shadowing sun
like a flower blooming ever outwards
I climb landscapes of words and music
tangling myself into what you used to be
lost forever is the conviction of time

your name is pounding through my ears
it slips between my lips and I taste you
meaningless notes are torn from the soul
our pores bleeding joy in lieu of hope
you stain my heart with your good cheer
