Crush

Yellow backs of chair we're in a classroom it's outer space I can see through your shirt, almost to the skin we're in a machine, we are strangers I want the shirt to show your heart It should be there somewhere in contrast with the green chalkboard we might be on to something here We are kids inside the classroom your hair has some rust inside it, your hands play, we should learn our lesson I don't know you I love you Let the world turn away, let the oxygen strip itself in air Books are burning, schools out Apples are rotting It's bad. I have a knife I'm not allowed to have this is unveiled love as we will come to know of it
