Unfold
look at you
and how you unfold
oh look at you
into deep folds of madness blue
the stars of golden thread
trailing down your head
who needs the sunlight
when you breathe the black into midnight
sigh out the shattered city lights
echoing volcanic glass into twilight
you're too hot to touch, though cool as a sail
eager to inhale the earth
I've too much to give, but you've too much to take
and yet I can't bear to escape
when my pockets run deep
they sink my soul
forever reaching to gain control
I am a soldier of a forgotten war
forgotten stakes, forgotten heart, forgotten score
bring me to the surface
where the truth has long been your friend
staring through you in glances
from that unknown, long-lost haven
and how you unfold
oh look at you
into deep folds of madness blue
the stars of golden thread
trailing down your head
who needs the sunlight
when you breathe the black into midnight
sigh out the shattered city lights
echoing volcanic glass into twilight
you're too hot to touch, though cool as a sail
eager to inhale the earth
I've too much to give, but you've too much to take
and yet I can't bear to escape
when my pockets run deep
they sink my soul
forever reaching to gain control
I am a soldier of a forgotten war
forgotten stakes, forgotten heart, forgotten score
bring me to the surface
where the truth has long been your friend
staring through you in glances
from that unknown, long-lost haven
