Aching blue breath
Assaults me through the phone
First time I heard you cry
The carpet’s getting worn
The signs were like cars
Like water they passed by
Each one hitting a body
Not one caught my eye
So don’t
cut the power lines tonight
There’s light
even on the darkest sides
Your body
decays but multiplies
No saviors
I need you to survive
The new year has passed
Thought some pain would be gone
More rocks turned over
There’s bugs in all the mold
Reached into cement
Like junior high
Drew the outline of your face
So you’ll never die
You try to find a reason
But there’s always a bigger cost
If you love it’s not treason
To the bloody hands that claw your back
So don’t
cut the power lines tonight
There’s light
even on the darkest sides
Your body
decays but multiplies
No saviors
I need you to survive
You’re heated like that summer weather
And burning down the bridge till you taste defeat
And I know I can’t make it better
We need you in our lives so it can all turn sweet
