I Wish I Dream of Love

If this newly built house ever burns down

Send a kiss and your smile

I’ve been missing from way down 

Down under my head and around my heart

Drowning like hornets in gasoline

Our heads aren’t as clear as they used

We’ve drowned them in brown liquor and useless scrambled TV

Sitting silently in a brain bath 

To clean the shots we didn’t want to take

And the lividity bleeding out of your eyes 

When we asked who killed your smile; it wasn’t a mistake

Sing that it was about love, love left alone

Write another question about you; who would ever want to know?
