ASo this is Efucking off by degrees
And AI suppose we turned Eout to be not-quite Hawaii
But AI can float back to Bsleep
Cause at least you're Blying to me
Like Amusic that dances from glowing apartments
As Bshadows entwine into a creamy darkness
Like Ajewlery hung down from rich silhouettes
EPortrays on the sidewalk where Bwetness reflects
All the Acolours of evening and the onset of lights
Like the Bpromise of nothing, sweet nothing, tonight.
E B C E C E C B E
So this is enacting ecstasy
And I suppose we turned out to be bathroom graffiti
But I can float back to sleep
Cause at least you're lying to me
Like shoveling hope into the infinite us
Til the world surges in yelling, "this is a drug bust"
Might turn up the heat and make us into one person
But then the temperature plunges and the predicament worsens
Til we're a fleck of new snow on the eyelash of a cow
And we melt away, melt away, melt away now
