Your voice drips silver
Lipstick red vocal cues, laughs soft to the ears in an assortment of colors
You take my lungs for yourself
Casting them in gold and making me believe in something I never saw inside myself
And it feels so much better than holding my breath underwater in oceans of skylines and eyelashes
My chest feels heavy when I'm around you
The kind of weight that keeps you grounded to reality
And in that moment, when your smile shines through darkness, I see stars inside of you
There is astrology in your peppermint smile and heavy eyelids painted black
Your words turn charcoal into gold
And though you might never love me
Maybe oil doesn't mix with liquid metal
You made a ribcage out of my prison bars, and a heart out of a ticking time bomb
And sometimes it pains me to hear your voice sometimes
My name dressed in rubies is the last thing I need to fall even more in love with you
Because you touch me, and I bleed gold
