Spineless Crow

Streets, these visions
 An origami city folding in
 Construction, creation
 We are architects and kings
 Lifting street stones from their beds
 To build these homes from memory
 As we're tangled in our sleep
 We were young together but I've grown ancient
 Cracked and weathered and filled with regret
 Waiting to sink, rushing to sink in my sleep
 The realization sinks in through the skin
 Like a disease, a blight inside of me
 Missing your touch, your weight on my fingers
 What was familiar becomes unfamiliar
 Give me an anchor, a lifeline to hold
 Bring me back to something I know for sure
 We were young together but I've grown ancient
 Cracked and weathered and filled with regret
 Waiting to sink, rushing to sink in my sleep
 Locked away, a dream-dweller pale from hiding with secrets
 Deeper than daylight dares, daylight dares to seek
 Come on out, emerge
 Hands to our eyes, overexposed for all we are
 We were young together but I've grown ancient
 Cracked and weathered and filled with regret
 Waiting to sink, rushing to sink in my sleep
 Lay me down in a den of dreamers
 Put me to rest on a bed of sleepers
 Doubt is a plague
 We'll never be safe here again
 When all their eyes are tied to me
 Just carry the conversation, please

 We were young, sandcastle kings
 Building empires, cities, and homes
 Architects tangled up in our sleep
