Dec 2014
surround me with your light darling
mine is going out
it's these nights
this air-fill that I desperately search for
killing my time with someone else's
I inhale my evenings
I flood and burn every feeling
i'm not trying to drown myself
but I do, all the time
these bottles sink
these cigarettes stink
i'm trying to float to you
but I can't swim in the dark
and at some point
my eyes turn everyone into you
and I turn into someone else
