I want to know what you do with your hands when you're not doing anything at all. And I want to peel back your layers and read between the lines of your palms. I want to know what your face looks like as you slip into a dream... To drift in your sea of thoughts and watch your forgotten memories crash against your shores. I want to listen to the music of your breath as you rest your wary bones. I want to know what your voice sounds like as you slowly wake, unfurling like a flower in your bed. I want to be ringed by the flame of your desires and wander through all of your darkest depths. I want to taste your chaos like nectar so sweet. To breathe your air. And learn the song of your soul.

Hands and bones and dreams
I want to know what you do with your hands when you're not doing anything at all. And I want to peel back your layers and read between the lines of your palms. I want to know what your face looks like as you slip into a dream... To drift in your sea of thoughts and watch your forgotten memories crash against your shores. I want to listen to the music of your breath as you rest your wary bones. I want to know what your voice sounds like as you slowly wake, unfurling like a flower in your bed. I want to be ringed by the flame of your desires and wander through all of your darkest depths. I want to taste your chaos like nectar so sweet. To breathe your air. And learn the song of your soul.
