Astronautics
I flood your veins like trenches
I am the astronaut in your bloodstream
my lips, galleons
as your skin becomes the pacific beneath me
as I watch the colors drain from your face and paint the floor in shades
paint the floor in shades
clutched to your hems with a newborns grip
paraplegic words are all I've left to auction
lips loose like a drunk man
poised as a poet
with all my etiquette orphaned
as I watch the colors drain from your face and paint the floor in shades
speak up
speak up and mean it
say your words and believe them
this house will fall with you
hope is a handicap
as I watch the colors drain from your face and paint the floor in shades
speak up
speak up and mean it
say your words and believe them
whoa
we were but upright animals
