You showed me my tomorrow
Beside a box of matches
A welcome threatening stir
My hopes of being stolen
Might just ring true
Depends who you prefer
But if it s true you re gonna run away
Tell me where
I ll meet you there
Am I snapping the excitement
If I pack away the laugther
And tell you how it feels
And does burden come to meet ya
If I ve questions of the feature
that runs on your dream wheel
The day after you stole my heart,
Everything I touched told me it would be better shared with you
With you
And now you re hiding in my sleep
And the book reveals your face
And there s a splashing in my eyelids
As the concentration continually breaks
I did request the mark you cast
Didn t heal as fast
I hear your voice in silences
*
Will the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud?
And the jostling crowd
You re not allowed to tell the truth
And the photo booth s a liar
And the sharpened explanation
But there s no screaming reason to inquire
I d like to poke them in their prying eyes
With things they never see if it smacked them in their temples
