There is just a touch of fear 
In every fragile moment life appears
But I’m safe with you velvet cargo
And I’ll take you out again this time tomorrow

And I’ll hold you hold you through the night 
While my hands are still untied
And we’ll sleep some other time
While we’re dreaming here tonight

A stowaway narrowly escaped the gallows
The shadow of her kiss hangs from the parlor 
Her gaze stays sticking onto velvet cargo
No diplomat could lift this heart’s embargo

And I’ll hold you hold you through the night 
And I’d make the sacrifice 
And we’ll sleep some other time
When we’re dreaming here tomorrow
Delivering your finery 
While shivering excitedly 
Adorn you with the finer things
We finally live our fantasy

My eyes are full of light upon arrival 
Heartbeat so fast it threatens my survival 
Now in my arms I hold you velvet cargo 
So soft and pure and eager to be followed 

And I’ll love you through the night
Hands reaching toward your candlelight 
And we’ll sleep some other time
When we’re dreaming here tomorrow

Delivery

Well the way
We’ve aligned 
In your eyes inner travel through time
I build a shrine in the mornings
Before the moon can unravel my mind

Every month
Just a taste
Of this union of matter and space
I watched you take 6 white roses
One for our own and gave 
5 to the graves

Sweet luminescent 
Sounds enter my ears
I can play 
With each new tune
I still wanna assume
We could stay

Spoke our hearts 
In a tub
Candlelight charging gems of our love 
We move with the moon
Without planning
Like the graveyard tree that
lightening struck 

Watched you walk 
towards your flight
Don’t get better at saying goodbye 
I sipped a sad Sazerac slowly
Gave no fucks it was noon 35
There’s no time when these

Sweet luminescent 
Sounds enter my ears
I can play 
With each sweet kiss 
My lips wish they could stick to your brain
Sweet luminescent 
Sounds enter my ears
I can play 
With each new tune
I still wanna assume
We could stay
Sweet luminescent 
Sounds enter my ears
I can play 
With each new place
I’ll still say to your face
We should stay

To The Graves

Towering industry 
Crumbles in flames
Leaking amenities 
Rusted and drained
Internalize everything 
We’ll need to change 

Postponed improvements 
Unknown later dates 
Easy to buy
Difficult to displace
Marked up impediments of
This late-stage
Chew on the remnants of
Better lived days
Now that I’m older
I see through the cage
Selling their vision
By running in place 

From the fear
The insanity mirror
Don’t let them hear you
Or you’ll disappear 

Infinity circles
A leash and a ring
Wrapped in rotations
Lapis lazuli 
We are not thirsty
We ride towards the sea
Something unborn
Though important to grieve
But that never happened
It’s only a dream
Not quite a nightmare 
If nobody screams

From the fear
The insanity mirror
Don’t let them hear you
Or you’ll disappear
Into the maze
With all exits erased
Don’t let them near you
You’re not theirs to break
