Summon the memoirs of my sullen sleep I smack my lips & let it all go into the depths Lightly lifted notes of a melody greet itching ears Holding my exhale as I breathe out of focus Let dead leaves lie but i will never let you justify or deny (your silence is a droning locust) Labyrinth of seckrets kept me from you (only echoes) Suns dying tonight as i cuddle my misery (burnt taste oncemore) Like a toddler without a pacifier (crashing to the floor in terror) Patronizing this soul for a matter of hours (slowly down it goes) The burn of the gullet or down the drain? (spin the bottle tonight) Would you dance with me 'tween the eves? A soliloque of silence dances betwitching these hazen eyes Molten or frigid; my Soul hangs betwixt Among the land of giants as the olive branch further twists
