Slurred Emotions

Phosphoresce

Shot once, bled twice.
It's escapism tonight
at its finest.
I only blur when the lights hit.
Shoot once, die twice.
I wanna escape tonight.
I don't need to be home
but I need you to be alone.

I want
         to breathe in your lifeform.
I want
         you to feel above the norm.
All I'm asking you
         is to keep yourself true.
'Cuz if these lights go out
         I'm still gonna wanna see you.

Love once, bite twice.
It's estrangement tonight
at its most divided.
I don't need you unaligned.
Luck once, wrong twice.
A wrong-turn wrong-way life
is keeping my attention
when I should be redirected.

I want
         to breathe in your lifeform.
I want
         to have to not ask to be let go.
All I'm asking you
         is more than you can do
and I'm not looking for too much yet
         but I want to see you.

TURN
OUT
THE
LIGHTS. I need to know.
TURN
OUT
THE
LIGHTS. I want to see if you still glow.
Who is this?
Who does this?
Do you even know?
You don't even know.

Lose once, lose thrice.
It's entanglement tonight
in its own delight.
I want to kiss you
         but I face the fear that I never might.
Love once, shame twice.
I'm entangled in your light
and I want you to glow
but it's dark inside
         and I wonder if you'll even let me know.
TURN
OUT
THE
LIGHTS. Is it reasonable to know?
TURN
OUT
THE
LIGHTS. Is it worth it to see you glow?
TURN OUT THE LIGHTS
         so I can
         KNOW.

...turn out the lights...
...I want to know...
...turn out the lights...
...I want to see you glow...
