Lips and Limbs

Could you be extraordinary

Stems and seeds bucket seats

This house is full of slurred speech

You're tormented I watch you bleed

And with this drink I'll take you back home

We are shimmering bright

Stagger through uncharted parks

The stars could be tawdry streetlights

And we don't have too much to say

I can't feel a thing

Is this just a wrinkle

On a page that ends dismally

I choose a path and run so fast

You are bored of following me

And with this drink I'll swallow the intangible

I can't illustrate

Control my limbs and lips

Cause you're too crowded to commiserate

And we're mechanical in your double bed

Remorse hung overhead to approach me

Could you be extraordinary

We're alone in this gaudy mess

In the house of slurred speech

Sharing gravity to suppress

And in your ear I will whisper weakly

Things that I do not mean

You are deaf and dumb and I am numb

And we're illuminating

I never had too much to say

I can't feel a thing
