lyrics

There was a storm the night I broke into your home
And the sky held its breath as I strode from room to room
You lay awake in the red-grey alarm clock light
Waiting patiently for its clatter to resume

My mouth was filled with the bellicose taste of ink
You undressed; your face impossible to gauge
Did I imagine that the storm drew away
As I turned you like a page, as I turned you like a page

Should I write these words across your neck --
A dotted line of disrespect --
Just to wipe the ink clean from my fingers?

In the heavy light of warm late afternoon
We fell asleep in a stolen car’s back seat
Parked on the brink of all of our indecent plans
We woke to find them rendered newly incomplete

When I held you down when we both held so still
Did it matter who was in control?
There was longing in your indecisive will
There was something missing you begged me to make whole

Should I write these words across your neck --
A dotted line of disrespect --
Just to wipe the ink clean from my fingers?
