Mute

I sought your face in the falling rain

come to me, comfort me

With the frost of your bitter words

And the splash of biting cold

 I remember you through velveteen curtains

Binding everything in the spice

With those chapping caustic salts

We wove together a new world

That once remembered our fates

Illuminated in the phosphorescence

Sickness bound everything and brought it screaming to the ground

And I love it.

I love a world that is equal but unfair

I watch the footwork with my hands

This perverse atonement exchanged a thousand times over

Trapped Until I see nothing but the blur of lights

Traffic of the world we once sought to accommodate

drowning in the splashing maelstrom

I dropped through the event horizon

became forced to talk in echoes

and heard everything in matte lacquer
