The polka-dotted sidewalk, beginnings of a rain-soaked street The dampness of my socks means that my last pair of shoes have finally given out and left a hole in my soul My gas light came on yesterday morning, so the wet socks will have to do, as I make my way to you Eyes, then hands, then lips meet Words pour, but I stop them short Mental faucet, won't say more The tap is too hot, and it always tastes the same Pass it to you, I only play the game But you see as I hide my ***** storm You say "Don't cool off. I like your warmth"

Don't Cool Off (September - 2021)
The polka-dotted sidewalk, beginnings of a rain-soaked street The dampness of my socks means that my last pair of shoes have finally given out and left a hole in my soul My gas light came on yesterday morning, so the wet socks will have to do, as I make my way to you Eyes, then hands, then lips meet Words pour, but I stop them short Mental faucet, won't say more The tap is too hot, and it always tastes the same Pass it to you, I only play the game But you see as I hide my ***** storm You say "Don't cool off. I like your warmth"
