The floor is cold. The sky is wide. There’s nowhere left For us to hide. The center holds A golden burn. It’s not our fault The way things turn. So keep your hand Against my heart. Let the whole thing Fall apart. If the stars collapse And the colors bleed, You’re the only Pulse I need. Your feet touch stone. The dress is silk. The air is humming Deep and shrill. We’re small as dust, We’re bright as coal. The spiral digs A deeper hole. Your palm is warm. My breath is fast. We’re building dreams That cannot last. The galaxy Is just a blur, Compared to how We really were. Don’t look back, Don’t look down. We’re the only Life in town. The music stops. The light stays on. We’ll stay right here Until we’re gone. The floor is cold. The sky is wide. I like the view From your side. Just one more spin. Just one more. Your silent steps turn On the empty floor. The lights go dim. The spin goes slow. Nowhere left For us to go.
