H Soft Escape

We are the nothing waiting in bad dreams

We are the first cracks in the ice

We are the hour hand, forever love's bitch and

We are the tears in those who have come before

And you whisper, and you whisper this could be the endThe soft escape of closing eyelids

The haunt of long nights still to come

First blinding light then only darkness

The cracks in pavement spell your name

Electric whir of closing sirens

Each word hangs rigid in the air

First scattered mass then constellation

We held your hand as you learnedYou learned, you learned

Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-da

Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-da

Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-da

Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-da...
