Under Fire

I still can’t believe that we ripped them

We got so wrapped up in ourselves singing “faster than you can run”

We spilled our guts and our darkest parts, though we never spoke a word

We lost our breath and our blood ran thin, our hearts breaking in our chests

We spoke in secret messages, sending glances across our drinks

We were fluent in foreign tongues with no written histories

Our own cryptic languages with no keys or decodеr rings

Undercover and under firе

We stole us away into a heady linen dream

The earth gave way underneath our feet as we flew through the crowded room

We moved through the night like strangers in our own streets

And I still can’t believe that we ripped them
