Words in sequence
Hmm hushA low line lullaby of live wire lightA ghosted gospel in the guttered nightYou found me where the streetlights cease to shineWhere whispers wake and watch the windows pineBy day we pass as posture poised politeBy night we bite the fruit of blackened lightThey claim my blood is borrowed bruised and boundA drumline dragged through dust without a soundYet we two sparks in soot and siren′s choirBuilt bright blind walls from cracks beneath the wireAnd it hums like hunger in a harp string's veinAnd it hums like lightning learning how to rainAnd it hums the static speaks a sleepless squireA private prayer pressed close beneath the wireBeneath the static we are breathing alive in the staticBeneath the static hearts are heaving alive in the staticBeneath the static love lives like a knife alive in the staticWe wear its weight we guard its markInside beneath the wireYour half light splits me clean from skin to soulBy dawn a ghost by midnight made of coalThese streets recite my scars like psalms of stoneYet in your gaze I taste a tender homeThey ink my name in ledgers slick with fearAnd grade my breath by shades that don′t appearBut you said stay when all my seams came undoneAnd stitched my shattered shadow back to oneAnd it hums a small bright match in monstrous snowAnd it hums where sirens sing and shadows goAnd it hums as if the night could never tireTwo quiet voices braided beneath the wireBeneath the static we are breathing alive in the staticBeneath the static hearts are heaving alive in the staticBeneath the static love lives like a knife alive in the staticWe wear its weight we guard its markInside beneath the wireI am your shelter in the storm's black roarYou are my storm that makes the shelter moreWe chase the night to hide our love from dayWe chase the day to hide our love from nightWe hide our love to live we live to hideThe world could fling a thousand suns we'd bideLet morning judge with its bleach bright bladed glareWe′ll bloom like bruises beautiful unfairBeneath the static we are breathingAlive in the staticBeneath the static hearts are heavingAlive in the staticBeneath the static love outlives the knifeAlive in the staticLove is the weight love is the markInside beneath the wireSo I dissolve with dawn′s cold careful lightLike smoke that swears it won't surrender nightYour embers sit in my hands and speakStill burning brightStill braveStill blister weakIn all this noise we fade we fade in the staticTwo quiet ghosts still hummingIn the static
