lyrics

“Play Dead”

Stay
And I’ll beg
At your feet
fool for the heel
of your steady gate
Waiting
I’m fine
innocent and lonely

Lips full and lion eyed
the weight you move and hide
and hide

Can you run home?
It’s silent.
I’m still waiting for our high careen.
We’re given one heart
I’m so in love
Sold my love
and soul to you.

Can you clean up
the stains in the hallway?
Your warm breaths rise and fall
beside me in my dreams.

Can I run, run away at your side
Away form these empty rooms?
(can we walk outside?
like we’ve walked outside
collecting the bones we find
all these skeletons in piles)
Stay.

- F. James Bardozi & Ramona Fields
