Braided Bay

Sheltered eyes
On the inside
Muted tongues
Say too much
Kissing quiet
In the grave light
I was broken
Till you came along
Teach me to be alive
Help me feel all this again
Cut off the hands of time
Make these minutes
Bleed into seconds
Make it stop
For you and I
There is no power
Born in division
There’s a long road
To the sky
I am familiar
To this desert
I’ve wandered here
For quite some time
I’ve watched it’s colors
Fade and die
I am a mountain
Set on fire
I am a prisoner
To my interior
The world is spinning without me
