I'm reading over your shoulder
|
||
|
It says it in every line
|
||
|
In every curve and crack
|
||
|
|
||
|
It says it in every detail of your face
|
||
|
Unmistakably apparent in this dull light
|
||
|
Tracing a separate letter and forming a separate word
|
||
|
|
||
|
Twisting together
|
||
|
To build the same beautiful sentence
|
||
|
The same painful realization
|
||
|
|
||
|
The cracks in your lips
|
||
|
Open with the book
|
||
|
And the smile shows the lines in your face
|
||
|
Perfectly crooked
|
||
|
And perfectly familiar
|
||
|
|
||
|
The cracks in your lips
|
||
|
Open with the book
|
||
|
And the smile shows the lines in your face
|
||
|
Perfectly crooked
|
||
|
And perfectly familiar
|
||
|
|
||
|
And by the moment
|
||
|
Uncovered like a statue
|
||
|
Lay perfectly still
|
||
|
To show the cracks in your lips
|
||
|
Give purpose to this pattern and start to smile
|
||
|
|
||
|
Burst into flames, disappear
|
||
|
Before your best intentions
|
||
|
Can no longer hide her ears
|
||
|
From that which will make them bleed
|
||
|
|
||
|
Or your own two hands become too weak
|
||
|
To hold the blood inside the wounds
|
||
|
|
||
|
Or reality explodes before you
|
||
|
In a brilliant flash of spectral fire
|
||
|
To a thousand fragments of a past
|
||
|
Long dead and gone
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is remembering the last time we touched
|
||
|
The last time we spoke
|
||
|
Words ricocheting off empty tables
|
||
|
|
||
|
Vandalizing the pictures on these smoke-stained walls
|
||
|
And I can feel your mouth
|
||
|
As it opens from across the room
|
||
|
|
||
|
Your tongue and lips, forming the shape of your laughter
|
||
|
It's the curve of your stomach, it's the bend in your legs
|
||
|
It's the remnants of pages framed in the cracks of your bleeding lips
|
||
|
It's the curve of your stomach, it's the bend in your legs
|
||
|
|
||
|
Your crooked teeth
|
||
|
Oh, your crooked teeth, your crooked teeth
|
||
|
Oh, your crooked teeth, your crooked teeth
|
||
|
Oh, your crooked teeth, your crooked teeth
|
||
|
|
||
|
I'm reading over your shoulder
|
||
|
It says it in every line
|
||
|
In every curve and crack
|
||
|
|
||
|
The same stupid message in every stupid bend
|
||
|
In every stupid stitch
|
||
|
In every inch of our peeling skin
|
||
|
|
||
|
It's tracing the letters in the same sentence
|
||
|
It's screaming the same stupid thing
|
||
|
Like the howling of a plane
|
||
|
Playing over and over and over and over and over
|
||
|
And over and over and over and over and over...;
|
||
|
|
||
