Swallowed by the Night - Sun Airway

I wish we could be swallowed by the whales-

Just a couple of fish inside the living ship we’d sail

I wish we could be swallowed by the night-

Just a couple of stars a part of constellation light

I’m just looking for a perfect sentence to keep us alive

Swallowed by the night:

A constellation dipping into our head, taking us in our sleep

Leaving behind just a dead pile of blankets and sheets

I wish we could be swallowed by the sky-

Just a couple of wings and wax that tried to fly too high

I wish we could be swallowed by the moon-

Just a couple of astronauts who won’t be coming home soon

I’m just looking for a perfect sentence to keep us alive

Swallowed by the night:

A constellation dipping into our head, taking us in our sleep

Leaving behind just a dead pile of blankets and blankets and sheets

Should we burn our old clothes?

Should we burn our old souls?
