encante

as the evening rolled

we couldn't wipe the smiles from our faces

if we'd wanted to

you had a different plan

involving words

you spoke of gold

but offered only coal

we are fighting ourselves

and we love to lose

i refuse to head down this road again

i found no verity in their bloated maxim

they are just sounds that shape lives

she did it again

slice the lie

dice the lie

until I'm left with sand

too late for apprehension

feel at home within the stone

don't you?

you don't have to say for me to know it

you don't have to draw

as the evening rolled

we finally wiped the smiles from our faces.

it wasn't as hard as we'd thought

all the while.

you spoke of gold

but offered only coal

we are fighting ourselves

and we love to lose

i refuse to head down this road again

i found no verity in their bloated maxim

they are just sounds that shape lives

erase you

from this day

you made it ugly

anyway

you don't have to say

you don't have to draw
