Sit with me in a pitch dark room
and lets imagine bright coloured paintings
on the walls and the ceiling.
I need a dark cave to hide me from the sun.
Too much burning beauty,
I'm on the run.
The neon lights,
they loved me true,
they drew me far away from you,
my mind is churned.
I want the freeze,
I want the tease,
to break it down.
I need a slave,
I am a slave,
I am enslaved.
It's because life is so fragile
that the colours are so intense,
that the pain is so immense,
that we love and hate.
This corruption sweetens us,
then prunes us,
then buries us.
Loss teaches us to find,
our honey lies in seconds that tick by,
an eternity of connectedness
that dissipates into the morning fog.
This is the reality we breathe in like shining shadows.
I want to write stars into your eyes,
paint admiration into your mind,
walk an epic movie into your life.
You are honey dripping off a peach of desire.
Come sit with me in a pitch dark room,
Let us be,
Lets sing in a whisper,
in a thick space,
of dreams and desire.
Sit with me,
lets talk some,
for another fragile memory
to be forgotten in time.
