Where You're Kept

Your breath in the stillness arrests me

And I’m blessing the comedy

Loving a prophecy

Waiting but nothing is stopping me

Tracing the yellows and greens and the crimson

Your heart is a prison

And I am convicted

Convinced in some other life

There on some other night

I would’ve found you

Undressed in the moonlight

As God as my witness

In the inky black madness

The nights were much longer

And the mornings just passed

Without our interference

Never made an appearance

And my heart slowed and sped

As you floated and swayed

Leather and traces of places I doubt I’ll forget

Right beside my left lung

Where you’re kept

Porcelain and original sin

sacrosanct, so divine

When we run out of time, tell me

Where’s a soul go, there’s so much I don’t know

We slow dance in a room that is burning

Needing and hurting, blessing and cursing

As God as my witness

In the inky black madness

The nights were much longer

And the mornings just passed

Without our interference

Never made an appearance

And my heart slowed and sped

As you floated and swayed

Leather and traces of places I doubt I’ll forget

Right beside my left lung

Where you’re kept

It is easy to feel like nothing is real

And the aches of decisions are not really worth

The price of admission

As God as my witness

In the inky black madness

The nights were much longer

And the mornings just passed

Without our interference

Never made an appearance

And my heart slowed and sped

As you floated and swayed

Leather and traces of places I doubt I’ll forget

Right beside my left lung

Where you’re kept
