Smoke

We're lying down with our heads looking back at the fire
Watching the flames go down. Letting our hearts grow tired.
You reach for my hand and I reach for your soul.
As our limbs run warm, our words will run cold
The smoke dances around our bodies like a smooth silk scarf
coating our tidal wave curves and binding all of our parts
Outside is no longer existing. Our universe is here.
We're diving into a black hole and there is no time for fear.
Starting with the first sign of life, I breathe you in
and you push your fingers deeper into my skin
plunging into my earth, watch the vines grow with every grasp
up into a high, forgotten, and unfamiliar path
we're suddenly spiraling in a black crystallized abyss
We're tumbling and tumbling with every stroke of our fingertips
Our scratches leave scars that are no longer sore
Oh no, my dear. I do not think we're in Kansas anymore
For our world has turned into nothing but colours and strings
We're swinging freely in a pool of warped foreign things
Suddenly I can't breathe a single breath without meaning
Cannot give, cannot take a single touch without feeling
I see sounds and waves to a song of its own
Every step I now take rings a harmonic tone
And you are the paint I spread on my canvas today
You are the ash and the smoke I watch slowly rise and fade away
