Cannonless - Captain, We're Sinking

We come down

No more furtively looking around

Glossy-eyed but looking straight

Our fingers touch and separate

We take slow steady breaths

And keep time by the rise and fall of your chest

We come down

Frozen bodies warmth embalms

Faces flushed trembling lips

Crystals rise from the mist of our breath

Triumphantly the threads connect

Subsonic whispers self-reflect

A reverie held rigidly in check

Self control breaks

Walls whisper our names

This is what we were made for

This is how we’re made

Blissfully our frames connect

Keep time by the rise and fall of your chest

Take slow steady breaths

Fall asleep

Blissfully our frames connect

Take short and shallow breaths

I keep time by the rise and fall of your chest and fall asleep
