Fears

3.23.09

Now yr spinning in the dark like an angel with an engine
Overcome by the cool, quiet compression
Fasting like a saint, under the city steps
A dream is like a life, if the wires don't get wet
A dream is a death if the lovers never forget
A love is a sorrow, a disturbance of the peace
A love is a dream, nothing was ever as it seemed
Keep it down, on the low, the past is like an echo, bouncing off the walls you built
You've driven them away, you've got the kingdom and the money
We are the mere keepers of the distance
I am a black shadow working in the gears-
Come up the years, come see me then
The love, dreams, echoes- you know them
They're alive- like our father
What we had was short, although it breathed deeply
We never had a chance- he was all our child- and all our fear
