Y

I've fallen into a hypnotic sleep 

While hourglasses counted

Our latest weeks 

Since I met you,

Humanity has lost its speech

So I found myself deaf to world

But you whisper has my deafness breached. 

I hang on every word you say

And every word has got me beat

And it's your sincere laughter 

That melts my tattoos in the heat. 

You seem to have more senses

To know more than books can teach

And it's such an amazing wonder 

To have you within my reach. 

I've cut my wings and buried them into the ground

And from feathers made you shoes

So hand in hand we'd roam the land.

I crushed my bones and built a boat 

And from my hardened skin some sails 

So we'd both be sailing around the world.

And if the sun will prove out cruel

I'll wear my nails to the bone

To build you a city in the shade 

More glorious than Rome. 

 In a world where I don't care 

About most people I know

Consider the value this places on love. 

I poured out everything 

That I crammed within my chest

You can chose to believe me 

Or pick the lies that you like best.
