The Lake

[Verse 1]

I submerge once more

To murky stagnant ocean floor

To ragged blankets crumpled up

And graceful hair pulled freshly cut

[Verse 2]

I’m grateful that you cupped my ear

And fateful tender passing fears

To intertwine your sleeplessness with mine

With sand to settle into your warmth

[Verse 3]

Even after showers missed

The algae caught around my wrist is silky sweet

And wrapped in unwashed sheets

Your moving mouth slips words in mine

And pressed against me sleeping fine

Till countdowns more

On mildew-dampened floors

Cement tunnels to explore

Where stalest glimmer’s laced around your chin

[Chorus]

And please don’t touch me cause I'm still in love with you

Please don’t touch me cause I'm still in love with you

Please don’t touch me cause I'm so in love with you

Please don’t touch me cause I'm still in love with you
