One spoon of cough syrup               Pour    Lines pulled against          the currents, like the strings of my day       and you have set        underneath my             horizon;     flares of your colors          settling into            my earth.                                                      Taste                                           Read my eyes and                                              longing looks.                                       Find the nerve behind                                            the trail of scarlet                                           and embrace your                                            lingering shadow                                          the one I've learned                                                   to love.                                                       Swallow                                                                                                Cling to my desire                                                                                           and entangle yourself          once more don't struggle instead      press your bones         into my grave    and bury me in your          flesh of broken                 dreams.                                                                                                                                                                 Repeat                                                 Defrost your denied                                                          approval in                                                          my warmth                                                      and wrap me in                                                            attention.                                                        Turn me into                                                   your poison apple                                                 and sink your heart                                                   deep into my core.

Cough Syrup
One spoon of cough syrup               Pour    Lines pulled against          the currents, like the strings of my day       and you have set        underneath my             horizon;     flares of your colors          settling into            my earth.                                                      Taste                                           Read my eyes and                                              longing looks.                                       Find the nerve behind                                            the trail of scarlet                                           and embrace your                                            lingering shadow                                          the one I've learned                                                   to love.                                                       Swallow                                                                                                Cling to my desire                                                                                           and entangle yourself          once more don't struggle instead      press your bones         into my grave    and bury me in your          flesh of broken                 dreams.                                                                                                                                                                 Repeat                                                 Defrost your denied                                                          approval in                                                          my warmth                                                      and wrap me in                                                            attention.                                                        Turn me into                                                   your poison apple                                                 and sink your heart                                                   deep into my core.
