And cloudy minds yern
For you to fill them up
And clear them out
I stay quiet
Heart a bawl
In the thick, still air
Dosing a dream
That you walk through the door
Taring off the days minutes
You climb on top of me
And thrust an uproar
Through my compose
Until I’m full of grime
Until I believe
Only love lives here
