Sun streams, warmth against my face
I close my eyes and conjure
Pixels dancing in bursts of light

A child's eyes, framed by sweeping shutters
A mother's cradling arms
Mechanical birds take wing to the sky, plastic and metal and heartbeats
Shudders run through my heart, all in a rush of
"we built this"

This is life
As we know it, as it is
And I have never been so in love

I want to breathe it in
And suffocate on its bittersweet syrup burning down my throat
I want to dance through the stars
Until my clothes rip themselves to shreds and my skeleton twirls to dust on the ground

I am so in love
And I cannot understand
Why I would want to give it all up
Why I cannot care

How, at the same time,
I can sing the stars praises and blow their meaning away like wishes in the sky

I am so in love
And still I hear the whisper
I want to **** myself
**** myself
**** myself

This is suicide
And somehow, I'm still in love
