Eyes open to a world
needing my attention
Absorbed in self, dissolving in you
We'll do what we want to do.
Think Iā€™m not noticing your pace
Your gaze in this non-race
Steady our movement; stop my heart.
Iā€™m feigning for what could never start.
The bodies still and sleeping,
Dreaming wishful thinking.
We are all victims of a crime
Subjects for fear and pain
On those roads we walk alone
we all shelter someones storm.
A sign, something beautiful,
A reason screaming truth.
If you're looking for some proof
lost within our youth
held faith in the forces pull
when love never breathes its fire
it can't be quenched with lone desire.
