I see sense in you
Maybe it's all a ruse
Like mirages on an empty stomach
Like illusions in a dreamy sleep
Baby, you're a fall too steep
What is this desperate need
What is this that's incomplete
I need you to know me
I need to let you be
Like oxygen to a spark
Like a bloody hawk
Baby, you're a reality too stark
Charred lips with lines of war
Sooty eyes with miniscule scars
Like a broken stringed guitar
Like a twenty year old car
Like branches in a sea
Like being lovers in numbers of three
Like a kite to free
Like a dying tree
Baby, don't you know me
Don't you know me by now?
(inspired by: Milkshakes from Before Sunrise)
