I ride you through the bends
On shattered glass

Love dripping into my veins
Like a hose filling up an aquarium

Just a small killing
Swept under the rug like the dog’s toy

Liquid silver fills my lungs
Candles dance in the wind

Laughter no longer swarms the air
And smiles have been sewn shut

So down the road we travel
Small talk entwines us

The hairs on our arms touch one another
Tickle against our bare skin

Sinking into your poisonous grasp
This damn clock never seems to expire

Happiness is like a black cat
Sitting on a window sill 

And we are like a sailboat
That never sails

Lay me down
And wait for me to come back to you
