choke;

if you would stay
i would show you the way
the sun sleeps when you look my way
the earth is quiet when you touch me
the creaks and groans
of this old, burning house
become my barrel in your mouth
i push it further
and we'll see what your limits are
another day has come and gone
as our body cound grows stronger
if only you would stay a little longer
i could show you the taste of the stars
and just how many you must swallow
to choke on your words
