Bury yourself in my heart shaped locket
We can sit at the bay window together
Watching the world implode around us
But while we wait we can explore
Place your hands up against my rose hips
Taste the peppermint wet on my lips
Could you lie me down in the lemongrass
Cinnamon and ginger exploding
I gift to you this bouquet of jasmine
The fire is right here can we boil
Could we steep on the loveseat
Could you be my wild chamomile
Exhaust me and send me to sleep
Where I could dream of a world
Where this didn't have to end
But I can smell the smoke now
We're only moments away from
Notes of pine and bitter char
You'll be safe in my heart shaped locket

Ribbon come tether yourself again
Around my circumference
Lock your fingers together
Please don't let me leave
I've been uprooted times a few
My inner gold has gotten blue

Does it ever start to feel right
I can't remember when it felt right
This role has gone on for so long
I practice my smiles in the mirror
I rehearse repeating 'it's alright'
But I don't really think it's alright
It's all beginning to crumble away
I'm losing the right words to say
I'm just trying to get comfortable
While I wait for the world to burn
Send me to the sky as thick smoke
Don't ever bring me back here
It's hard to be hopeful
When there is no hope

This may not be my world
But I will still enjoy it
Dilute the acid when I'm sour
Sing a song inside the shower
Dance when I don't know
What else there is to do

I feel my time has slipped by
I missed the vortex to my dreams
But not all is as it seems
There are still light beams
That slip through the clouds
Sharing the gold

This may not be my world
But I am still in it
I'll add sugar to my lemons
I'll heal all of my demons
And express gratitude when
I don't know what else to do

Good God there could be love
Centered in our combined tension
Maybe I was only startled
By the sparkle of the blue grey
Caught in the flood lights
Your voice melted nicely with
The sound of the 2am parking lot
I felt as though no time elapsed
Good God don't let me get attached
My heart is under construction
When the tide rushes in I know
That it also rushes out
Good God there could be love
But I've been known to be a fool
But I've grown used to being alone
But maybe I was only startled
But I know it also rushes out

Come place your sun soaked earth eyes
On my alter adorned in ruby red burning
Carnelian and rose quartz sparkling
Notes of Ylang-ylang and tobacco vanilla
Swirl and enter your soft warm aura
I want to swirl and enter your soft warm
Conversations of space and ideal love
Kiss the petal of a blood rose rojo
Glance upon my moon soaked orbs azul
Rest yourself on my soft constellations
Taste the universe on my bitten lip
Embrace the season of the witch
Pleasure created around and betwixt

I thought you'd love me by now
You'd trick me into wearing a ring
Fidget with my fingers while I
Studied the specs in your eyes
I know, I know, I know,
There could still be time but
I grow, I grow, I grow
In numbers and I'm used to this life
Where I occupy the bed alone
Blackout the reach of the sunrise
I don't even know if I believe anymore
That you're out there dreaming
Waiting for fate to guide us
To cross paths a few times
I guess if not in this life
I'll have you in the next one
If there is a next one
