American Dreams glow onto me
Life’s a flirt who doesn’t put out
My heart’s a tomb; buried and bound
Yet, I’ve seen my greatness flicker
But, have been left alone oh, so much quicker
Love like wine, planning your next move
Secrets wet from the morning dew
My limbs stiff at the thought of you
The “Golden Age” bruised black and blue
Sticky shells in the break of light, high noon, and the cheap, dark night
I stumble to the guilt of that quick fix
Mixtapes beat to the drums of your red lips
You were my last queen of hearts
When I last heard “Love Will Tear Us Apart”
It hit me instantly
When I took the time to breathe the Spring air
So refreshing
I swear I had seen everyone and everything
In picture-perfect synchronicity
Not confined to these physical lines
We were free, in control
But, alas, I awoke
Bitter, not broken
And we'll break away from all that is wicked, from all that deceives us
We will take hold
We took it hand in hand through these etherized streets, and I can tell you this all without fear of infamy
We made it drink by drink, laughing ‘til we weep, and I can show you this all as the moon beams over me
We gave it beat by beat under Satan’s sheets, and I can feel this all where my head pounds constantly
