Wax and Soul


Dans le noir.

You were there when I was gone.

Interlaced between the night sky, centered in the bosom of your gloomy haze.

Your hands were trembling, your gaze was broken.

You cradled my pulse, I was falling.
You licked my wounds, I tore them open.

Another heavy road. Another passive sketch.
Another miserable morning to resist again.

You feel my breath, I suffocate.
You wrap me up, I try to escape.

The crowd is dull, the stars are blank.
The city sleeps beneath our bodies, the silence spreading.

Now You are afraid, and I am numb.
You live here, and I don’t know where I’m from

We close our eyes and paint our faces
You imprint your cursive palms onto my rags,

A grotesque fairytale, our unholy union
A sea of misery, the foam stained red,

Clashing above the heavens, and enveloping us ahead.
