wrapped in shadows, / who are you when the light of day evaporates / and the cool evening air

the sea surges beneath the pier / I feel the subtle rocking / of the weathered wood

the sunset holds no power over me / there is no solace in dreaming / for when the velvet night unfurls

limelight desire
the sound is tangible, / thick in the air / pressing into every open space
