City Bleach

You bleached the night with your headlights.
Blinded and caught fire to all my secrecy.
And now I’m burning down.
Can you take one good look around.
There’s more to see in this rain.
I’m having trouble listening on the inside.
There’s too much going on.

On the outside in the sun shine.
Gravel in my coffee again.
Headaches for a friend, from a friend.
Mutual flame extinguishing.
And it’s because of you.
Because of you, because of me.
We’ll never sleep again if we follow the creases.
Pick up the pieces and sift the gravel from my coffee.
