Freeze

My hallucination
Every drug that I need
I love you for your beauty
I love you for the books you read

I watch you laze in the sun
I watch your head come undone
You smile, the man and child with
Bee-stung lips where my tongue trips
And curls and you kiss like a girl

It frees me
Frees me from the freeze
It frees me
Frees me from the freeze

And with the liberation
Everything's taken higher
And every complication
Another spark for the fire

You're nothing more than eighteen
But you are more than you seem to be
You've ruined me with
Pale white hands and soft demands
And ways to set the days ablaze

It frees me
Frees me from the freeze
It frees me
Frees me from the freeze

You're like a favorite saint
Kept alive in prayer and paint
One looked a lot like you
Saucer-eyed and stoned
And out of the blue

It frees me
Frees me from the freeze
It frees me
Frees me from the freeze
