A cold night in drunken air
The weight of the world is lifted and shared
An alley way near moving lights
And the pastel colors they leave behind
Honest and vague, fears identified
The caged-up reality they reside
The dampness in her eyes felt like acid
The words he spat painted the pavement
Fuzzy lights like home's embrace
He hated the way she stared at his face
Guilt she bled out and he absorbed
That night, he didn't want to disappear anymore
