Awake In The Edge

I'd memorize the rise and fall
Of every breath against my walls
Count your lashes in the glow
Where moonlight paints your shadow-show

This suspended hourglass
Where even dreams feel second-class
If I blink you might dissolve
Like smoke-ring promises

I'll burn my eyelids raw!
(To keep you in my sight)
Let time call it a flaw!
(I'm stealing every night)
Even gods would envy this
(The way your pulse writes hymns)
I'd ride the apocalypse
(Just to drown in your rhythm)

Your heartbeat maps my fingertips
A language only rebels script
I kiss the dawn between your brows
My church, my curse, my sacred vow

This suspended hourglass
Where even dreams feel second-class
If I blink you might dissolve
Like smoke-ring promises

I'll burn my eyelids raw!
(To keep you in my sight)
Let time call it a flaw!
(I'm stealing every night)
Even gods would envy this
(The way your pulse writes hymns)
I'd ride the apocalypse
(Just to drown in your rhythm)

Not one smile left unclaimed
(Etched behind my ribs)
Not one kiss filed unnamed
(The world outside can rot)

I'll burn my eyelids raw!
(To keep you in my sight)
Let time call it a crime!
(I'm hijacking the night)
Even gods would kill for this
(The way your breath resets)
I'd wreck eternity
(Just to freeze this cassette)
