since I began
dreaming in a foreign tongue
fighting the fear
of the unknown
permeating words
I’d never known
I found a home
in my backyard
I shelter birds that cannot fly
they don’t care about borders
enough sleepwalking
I woke up at thirty-five
bruised and broken
enough
with buckets in your hands
painting every door around us red
our blanket caught fire at dawn
there’s no food, no water in the camp
strange how none of it matters now
let’s just lie down here and count the stars
one two three four five six seven eight
nine ten eleven twelve
how did we get so lucky
to find each other
in this mess
how come
we got the kiss of life
on the road to hell
how did we get so lucky
to have nothing yet have it all
counting stars
with you, my love
all night long
We've sent a crow
ad now we now there's no mainland no shore
you're lost and I'm too
and everything that we tried
has left us
you're chasing ghosts
I'm skin and bones
but sky is in flames
slowly sinking in those waves
what tomorrow brings I don't care
abandon this ship
it's not a bad dream
not in the book
not a song about me and you
true and real
we're drowning bit by bit
abandon this ship before you forgive him again
all those perfect storms that you'd had
before everything turns into orange
