the mercury illuminates this empty bar with shades of grey.
it feels like home and breaks me in without a word.
in lessons learned and promises kept;
in lovers left and fictional depths,
I find myself enshrouded in a neon haze.
don’t try to fight it.
these walls cave in, these walls cave in.
despite the warnings.
this house will fall, this house will fall.
don’t try to fight it.
and from the rubble and the bones,
we will build upon the past.
just like this city and its blood,
we will never grow old.
the air we share intoxicates with alcohol and foreign tongues.
a sense of self, left unfulfilled—undiagnosed.
you take me home, you wear me out.
the purest form of naked doubt.
we watch the park;
the people melt into the haze.
into the haze.
don’t try to fight it.
these walls cave in, these walls cave in.
despite the warnings.
this house will fall, this house will fall.
don’t try to fight it.
these walls cave in, these walls cave in.
this house will fall, this house will fall.
these walls cave in, these walls cave in.
this house will fall, this house will fall, this house will—
and from the rubble and the bones,
we will never grow old.

Matter and Memory

I miss the way your hands would thread their way into mine.
like a tapestry of limbs,
a trellis of ivy.
I hope you’re calmer now than you were on earth.
chambers and labyrinths seal me within your mind.
reflecting the novas, defying the conscience enshrined.
remember the roses, departures, and stark avenues.
remember the halos, the paintings, the shades and the hues.
when the symbols guide our roles,
the past devours our future.
all sensation is already memory;
a contradiction of our faulty neurons.
the wind’s transmitting a picture of static,
an ethereal theory.
chambers and labyrinths seal me within your mind.
reflecting the novas, defying the conscience enshrined.
remember the roses, departures, and stark avenues.
remember the halos, the paintings, the shades and the hues.
scarlet and crimson and ruby adorning the skies.
the winters are colder, the hazel you cannot disguise.
remember the hexed hearse, the shallows and depths of the sea.
remember the blessed curse, the secrets, the infirmity.

the air we share is razorblades,
intoxicates with alcohol.
with wide eyes, she is anchored to a field of time.
in lessons learned, in promises kept,
in all that’s left, and fictional depth,
the trees collapse and as we watch, the skies turn grey.
don’t try to fight it.
these walls cave in, these walls cave in.
despite the warnings.
this house will fall, this house will fall.
don’t try to fight it.
and from the rubble, and the bones,
we will never grow old.

these walls cave in, these walls cave in.

and from the rubble, and the bones,
we will never grow old.

Atmospheric baroque instrumental pop from composer Luke Cissell—complex and carefully constructed but not without a sense of humor or light.
