Nothing We Say Leaves This Room

<br>Your eyes being to stare at the polygraph machine<br>as you become aware of the satellites that call her name.<br>It`s as if the ocean swallowed the city lights that we fell in love with.<br>Paralyzed and paranoid, we withdraw the hands we held.<br>This is beginning to get ugly, dear.<br>You feed me to the lions.<br>Now the tongue becomes the bridge between broken teeth.<br>Now you feed me to the lions.<br>How we reach for the arms but only clasp the knees.<br>How we reach for each other only to die alone.<br>How we reach for the stars only to swim through the dead.<br>How we strive to connect only to fall apart.<br>Just between me and you I felt the rapture in your arms.
