short of our lives

this pale skin
forgot to see the sun
with these closed eyes
the cold
the daisies in the guns
that shed our blood

in waiting arms
we hold these
fallen angel wings
they're made of dust
kicked up from
times, we dont remember
how to get ther...back to us

and desert sands they whip us
short of our lives,
far away from here
and seas of gold they spin us
sell our souls and
cry mercury tears

floating within the darkness
stars emerge like
fire from
the coal
we dont know where
to go
from here

these island waves, they drown us
sure in our lives
far away from here
and winds of fire, they forge us
bent into situations
we can't bear

i looked through
a picture book
and tried to find the constallation
you had joined
you told me not to worry

can i reach you?

i peel my sunburned skin off
like paper sheets
or orange rinds
i wanted to show you
