Aaron & Adam

and this town’s lost its faith in their crown
our colors will fade eventually

because our mama did it badly

so if our time is running  out

i’ll know it’s bleeding from the spout

and you’re not the one

you’re not the son,
or the sun

day after day
they make the mundane

their masterpiece

to my demise.

my lover aaron
i take one look at you

you take me out of the ordinary
i want you laying me down

until we are dead and buried

dead and buried.

i stand

on the edge of your knife,

staying drunk on the wine

that you pretend is your own vine.

i love you.

the girls who sell you out are jealous

the girls who buy you out are jealous

i came to touch your chest

you know they’re jealous

we sing a hopeless

hallelujah

hell is

on our side

our side of the gate

the heaven’s gate

what’s it to you?

how do I make you breathe
then blow you away

i’ll take my own breath away

i’ll take your precious life away.
at your altar, I will pray
you’re the sculptor, I’m the clay

oh my, oh my my

you, aaron

are taking

me out of the

ordinary

playing–
i want you laying

me down

until we’re drunk and buried

or maybe dead & buried

on the edge of your knife,

what’s wrong with your wine
while the angels are up in the clouds

and they are jealous.

knowing we found

something so out of the ordinary 
we’re kissing the ground of our own sanctuary
shatter me with your touch,

oh GOD

return me to the dust–
