Indigo

Piercing eyes embroider me I didn't think we'd fray Wildflowers meet pocket knife That I took from the grave Indigos on her front porch Neighboring the ashtray I hope the colors will make her smile Don't know how else to say She is the ashes in my mouth She is the wine stain on my teeth She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet She is the ashes in my mouth She is the wine stain on my teeth She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet How does something delicate Look deadly at the same time Making music to my ears When her lips move against mine Walk a tightrope, take it slow Still settled on a fault line Would I have loved her differently If I had known the deadline She is the ashes in my mouth She is the wine stain on my teeth She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet She is the ashes in my mouth She is the wine stain on my teeth She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet How does something fall apart Without a warning sign Quiet as a setting sun Behind a hazy sky New moon we're falling through She says she can't see me I just want what's best for her I say take care, truly, baby She is the ashes in my mouth She is the wine stain on my teeth She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet Coughing the ashes out my lungs Pouring the bottle down the sink Realizing that space inside my heart could be for me She is the ashes in my mouth She is the wine stain on my teeth She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet Coughing the ashes out my lungs Pouring the bottle down the sink Realizing that space inside my heart was made for me She is the ashes in my mouth She is the wine stain on my teeth She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet Coughing the ashes out my lungs Pouring the bottle down the sink Realizing that space inside my heart was made for me
