Lips And Limbs

Could you be extraordinary?

Stems and seeds, bucket seats.

This house is full of slurred speech.

You're tormented, I watch you bleed.

And with this drink I'll take you back home

We are shimmering bright.

Stagger through uncharted parks

The stars could be tawdry streetlights.

And we don't have too much to say,

I can't feel a thing.

Is this just a wrinkle

On a page that ends dismally?

I choose a path and run so fast

You are bored of following me.

And with this drink I'll swallow the intangible

I can't illustrate.

Control my limbs and lips

Cause you're too crowded to commiserate.

And we're mechanical in your double bed,

Remorse hung overhead to approach me.

Could you be extraordinary?

We're alone in this gaudy mess.

In the house of slurred speech

Sharing gravity to suppress.

And in your ear I will whisper weakly

Things that I do not mean.

You are deaf and dumb and I am numb

And we're illuminating

I never had too much to say,

I can't feel a thing.
