exctinct suns

i wish i could
try swallow my own tongue
sometimes it hurts
         yes it hurts

and then it's all smoke,
see you can
swallow smoke
but i refuse to could up myself
with meaningless lies anymore.

all life has now been reduced
to a promise of you
out of reach
in a glass house
for my delight.

all life has now been reduced
to extinct suns,
forgotten midnights
and empty cinema seats.

i wish i could see your ghost
oh yes i do
maybe then
words wouldn't trip on me
