Smoke
Carried our packs straight to the edge
Saw the future burn the past
Saw strip mall sketches stretching skeletal
We knew it wouldn’t last

Through dark heat
Smoke in the street
But I see you clear
Pulling you feet farther from me
But i know that you’re near

We read the same words
Forget what we heard
Two meanings diverging from the same verse
Our insides churning just to learn from ourselves
Reverse what we rehearsed

The lights will bend between the trees
But I see you clear
It’s up to you and down to me
And I know that you’re near
And what do I do now
When I promised that I’d get to you
But now I don’t know how
I’ve got you always
Your words in my head
I’ve got you always
Your heart in my chest
And I won’t rest
