stare through medical lies
days lost
when they use our existence
remember when they broke down the bridges in San Francisco
take back the words that define the solider’s last command
I’m the one hurting to imagine it fall apart before your eyes
save every color fallen from your eyes
words burning through my head
pushing in all directions they shock every substantial lie burning across your skin
years leaving this town
years to prove my faith
shape every detail before we say farewell
before when they were so much better
when children watch ghosts locked away behind words on film
walk through the staircase and lie across the pages of every book in detail
lights burn away every chemical misunderstood
imagination locked behind transparent skies
when sickness falls to the ground
hide away in your own security
places too numb to feel
conversations buried away
pick away at this disguise
pick through the amnesia
colors driven to the shoreline
we watch all the ships sail towards this lighthouse
a million letters to my best friend
I can’t wake you now
when we can’t feel tomorrow
