will I expand forever
all stretched out
finally resting
no more fear or doubt
maybe we could reach entropy
how beautiful it would be
everything in balance, nothing moving
wouldn't it be perfecting
could I subsist forever
all stretched out
finally resting
no more fear or doubt
(part two)
is every fixed point a lie?
baby let's be completely still tonight
every intent to vilify?
darling lets burn it all to lullaby
is every surface a lie?
baby let's fold ourselves in half tonight
every intent to purify?
Darling let's dirty up the deify
particles innocent?
haunting every "meant"
how the "me" breaks down
gravity innocent?
codify every "meant"
where is the "me" found?
innocent decadence?
undoing every "meant"
what is that awful sound?
is every tense a lie?
baby let's undo time tonight
the capturing of my eye?
darling let's distill it all to clarify
is every abstract a lie?
baby let's invent language tonight
every intent to glorify?
darling let's settle up the imply
(hold me when I am lost I am only found in you)
