Exist and Expire - Nieves

Oh darling you’ve, you’ve fallen in front of me

I know that you’re mine, because my breath did shake the tree

Oh apple-green, your envy is clear to me

I polished your sight and left your scent upon my sleeve

And the temperature feels different tonight

It’s dropped by 10 degrees in the blink of an eye, when it’s typically night

There was this lightness surrounds us, and I am sure that we’ll die

But not quite yet, cause this lightning inside us makes us dream of a life

And it’s bright

Oh sit between the walls of my armory

The mold will grow, the fetid smell will take it’s hold

Oh gravity, it’ll lead you to plant those feet

But it’s never been strong enough to hold them next to me

And somehow find a meaning to their life

There is no wrong or right, just do or a die, a will to survive

We just exist and expire, this lightness surrounds us, and I am sure that we’ll

die

But not quite yet, cause this lightning inside us makes us dream of a life

And it’s bright.

It’s bright

And in this hopelessness, this trudge through the mire

We exist and expire.

We exist and expire

I should be scared but I’ve not felt this alive

We exist and expire.

We exist and expire

And in this hopelessness, this trudge through the mire

We exist and expire

We exist and expire
