Cross room connections
Extroverted misdirections
Hesitant to keep distant
Fixated on a mouth so persistent
If there were ever a moment in which a spark could exist
It was this
Why resist?
A chamber, Doubt's remainder
All the times I ignored the disclaimer
And did I mention
That heart's detention
Room has a desk with your name scratched in the top?
I love the way the fire danced in your eyes
And I love the way you took me for that drive
Not dream
Nor fantasy
Nor hallucination
Just a moment of pure imagination
Where the tanbark is hot lava
And I feel at Nirvana
Swinging from limb to limb
As we climb 'round that jungle gym
There's something about you that draws me in
Like a moth to the flame
Hoping that I could bear witness
To everything you try to keep tamed
Behind that smile
Let me stay for a little while
Where there's smoke there's danger
But I would walk across those embers
To quell your unspoken tremors
Just promise me you won't remember
If I perish in the endeavor
Because I don't have no wings
But you make me fly
And the most peculiar thing
Is you don't even have to try
Excuse me, while I press my lips to the sky
Which opens up like the great divide
To wash away that smoldering pyre
But you would keep me safe from the storm outside
The thunder and lighting
Are only trifling
When I've you
In this warm bed
To watch the weather pass by
Now you don't know it yet but
My heart is Love's crash test dummy
And it's been run into the ground so many times
Not even the mannequin would find it funny
Bruised and bloody
Tattered, torn and ugly
The hideous car wrecks and medics inept
Have left shattered pieces
Strewn about the asphalt's creases
They survey the damage
They stitch me up
But the heart it is ravaged
Love's ending abrupt
So can you hear me now? The truths I have whispered
Take all that you need; blackened and cindered
Ash colored ash is my kingdom
Trapped inside this colorless prism
If I should hide it will only be my demise
Facing the facts that you will surely surmise
Your touch has burned upon my skin
Just like the times I remember feelin'
So as we stand, chest-deep in the flow
The undertow will grab our hopes and won't let go
Your legs wrap around my hips, arms around my shoulders
We rock gently as the current carriers us closer
The cool river the only relief at all
But drawing us ever nearer to the impending waterfall
So before we plunge I just want you to know
I won't let go if you don't let go
