- I’m underwater in the cottage
where my mother and father brought me in the summer and autumn 
coming up from the bottom (
take a deep breath) 
A voice is muffled but audible
 - I wonder what’s walking 
between the garden of my former 

college. 
- it’s not even possible -
- about to take a test but caught off my guard to prove it 
I’m a (hard-working student) -
 - throw a look across the room
she doesn’t know what she ought to do 
(I’ve got you) - - Lovelier than what I have to offer
 I’m summoned into the arboreal to stop her
 - Snow falls while the crow calls 
she goes on - prolonged, the road’s blocked
the cold grows strong

a faint vision - I drove a car
bang – collision, I witness it so far 
away but this is - vivid 

- I’m saying
“wait a minute”
as she faces my position
to explain her existence Flesh yearning for A dream-like world Where the silence left unsaid isn’t as cold Visions unfurl In an illusion of their clarity Just wake me up before I fall The stale breath of asphyxia threatens as your own (The stale breath of silent death threatens as your own) Constricted, taunted, don’t let them prod you to the bone But in the depths I feel the futility of our relevance No room for control or for intelligence (I can hear you say) Yet in your arms I can feel my muscles tense with fight I can recall my heartbeat pumping crimson, beeping life (Don’t change lanes) Your bare skin, cheap gin, tall grass and your scrunched up jeans Why do I feel like I’ve been plugged into some great machine? (Why do I feel like I’ve been plugged into some great machine?) 
How did we go from making heartfelt love
to overstaying our welcome?
they chased us
hellacious They’re still here Stay near For you I’d give my life Fiction or fiend Stand back, hand me the knife I see
your makeup streaks across 
your face cloth 
my teeth – they fall 
straight off
can’t stay calm Your frame deformed Your eyes wash off like rain This constant strain on my brain is driving my insane Flesh yearning for A dream-like world Where the silence left unsaid isn’t as cold Visions unfurl In an illusion of their clarity Just wake me up before I fall

I hear your whispers on the stairs You already left me lying here bare Cold hands touch me now I know you're around me now And you make up all of me But none of you I see You're dark matter to me You're dark matter to me Something I can't see Something I can't see But you make up all of me You're never there in the light You never want to touch the light You're dark matter to me x2 But you're something I can't see x2 But you're still all of me...
