Sequoia
Forever to noon
Smoke on my tongue
Take one step backward
Eyes on the ground
And I’m nauseous
Colors fade away
Black to white to gray
Needles in my arm
I’m wide awake
And sleepwalking
The push and pull
Of this thirsty crowd
The sky isn’t high enough
But silence is too loud
So hold on tight
Hoods come up
My lips are stained
I’ve got the head of a lion
Ink in my veins
Baby drawing
We taste the pavement
Cold against my leg
Your breath is taboo
They’ll give what they take
Your parallel spirit
Lace up your shoes
Sequoia is calling
And I start to wonder
Am I jumping or falling
Or unwinding
I’ll take a light in the dark
You’re a submarine on fire
I’ve been flying all night
The dirt sparkles, you’re tired
So sleep here tonight
I’m high and low
Dreaming and mending
Sequoia, she tells me
The world is ending
And I let go
Liked or faved by...
