Mezzanine

[Verse 1]
In foreign tongue, and in later life
You spoke to me, and trees fell white

[Verse 2]
Waned too much, I felt stellar warmth
Cultured dress and nerves that struck in storms

[Verse 3]
Reciprocate, through message in the water
Still, you wanted daughter
Warned by denser foes
In any age, it was captured in the heart’s kiln
Taken by a lone whim
Shot through heavy tones

[Verse 4]
Made forlorn by the naked form
Solved by any figure, weighed and torn

[Verse 5]
I owed enough, so watched you getting older
Faster when you’re colder
Warmed by levies owed
In heavy lungs, it leaked colour to the former
Beauty wasn’t dormant
Choked on steady rows

[Verse 6]
Swelling up, the formant made it softer
Passion, inner laughter
Mixed in heavy breaths
Logic, luck, the east of me was open
The silence was a token
Of your weary treads

[Verse 7]
Haste, by which I lost colour in
My eyes grew and washed the trouble in
Traced in my steps, my chest was cold
From all over crept the nest untold

[Verse 8]
Celebrate; the hell you’d made was heatproof
A ceiling made of sweet tooth
Haven in the dread
Deviate, a collage of a lesser keen
Meet me on the mezzanine
And I will shake my head

[Verse 9]
Twenty one, the count was getting shivers
Plenty in my tear ducts
It would make me strong
Even young, my arms would show in patches
If liquid touched your lashes
You would claim it wrong
