It’s like yesterday
I forgot which day feels so
intense lingers all to long
to finally fade

Feel a touch all over me
Feel this silence enrapture
me come back to me
One kiss is all I need
To sail this dream
Till it flies from me
Till it falls of my lips
You need to come
back to this

There’s never enough
time it’s all suicide there’s
never enough time to let
you know why I feel so alive

Silent is the thought so
vibrant and raw you can
be the black sky you know
I like the alarm

Like a blade to a threat
Hold on to some secrets
Collecting stars from the sky
Are the dead stars in your big
brown eyes I drown and I swim
to be inside

Such a tender arousal under
the lust imagination on fire risk
of trust awaken the choir you’d
want more I’ll risk the desire burn
me across the soul a heart is just
a reminder of what we keep or lose
its scars are replenished with love
a little bit more

Sin is in love
Bond into lust
Sin is in love
which one is
to trust
If I close my
eyes the image
of you
If I close my
knowledge go
beyond the rules

Defend no ego
It’s just a bruise
Taking another
blow we have
nothing to lose
The only truth
what we choose

Go darker
Go deeper
Heavens on fire
That’s how it feels when
pleasures leaves you higher

I believe I could love you
in some of this submissive
time I believe you could
desire this in some storm
you bring to mine I don’t
want to wonder where the
lightning will crash like thunder
I haven’t been falling I’m neither
above nor under

Trust me if I tell you
Every word even the
ones you haven’t heard
