step out onto the neon wire

to inhale the silence and hidden fire

we are connected by loneliness,

through a kinship of detachment,

entwined in secrecy

in a faraway dream,

I know you well

drive it home

hide the body in its shell

move in the glow

left to wander in the cell

down to the wire

we are in this alone

dream in euphoria

longing for a wish or a cure

constant motion in an altered state

arriving at nothing but a steady pace

this is what I want

to live through the ache with no say

I’d rather die waiting on something real

than settle for repurposed memories

drive it home

hide the body in its shell

move in the glow

left to wander in the cell

down to the wire

we are in this alone

dream in euphoria

longing for a wish or a cure

drown in the sound

of voices tearing away

lost in the maze

longing for a wish or a cure,

a failsafe

drown

lost inside the maze
