sober fear
a fresh gaze
in disguise
no one knows
a tender stroll
in the spur
blossoming warm
infantile breaths
mending my soul
after losing authority
consent all over
I’m sure you don’t mind
a change, a pass
devil sponsored
echos into a hole
and you belong to me
southern star
sweat of July
old games
and your mothers preaching
slowly fading away
filtered from this mess
bittersweet change
while the frozen ice
around my fingers thaw
dripping slowly over your
paper gates tearing it away
piece by piece
to feel like the first time
contain yourself
let loose more than I can take
bow down
feel the rhythm
everybody has a ghost
don’t feel guilty
keep the excess untold
if you like
under sober fear
feel the change
under sober fear
