When it's dark in the city,
I like to take off my glasses so that everything blurs together
And I can't tell where the lines start and end.
It's like the world becomes a painting,
One with globs of oil coming off the canvas
And you can make it look like anything you want it to be.
And if I twist my neck around,
I can see everything that I can imagine.
Like one where someone is in love with me and if I don't want blood under my tongue,
There doesn't have to be.
One where I can walk surely and I don't have to take off my glasses to feel safe.
I can touch the halos around the street lamps with my fingertips because of the peaks of paint and I can sleep at night because of the dark sky.
Sometimes you are there and sometimes I am alone and the same painting can mean a million things.
A million beautiful things if I let it.
