at house party with your hip flask. has he kept you precious like a locket?
the pale night alive. through your jeans tight
cigarette box outline in your pocket. we're in the bathroom and you perch on the sink. i begin to infatuate
exasperate
resuscitate. by day the cat sleeps
but at night how he moans
through the windows perspex. we sit and talk about sex
because it's all we have in common
don't you know. and it's youth
ever fading youth. would you have lived differently if you had known
this life was on loan?
i recall the blue first night i met you
and gaze through the passing time. your hair was henna and wine. the contrast in what i dream and reality. took you back from the club while your friends all did drugs
we never spoke about love
just mortality. and it's youth
ever fading youth. would you have lived differently if you had known
this life was on loan?
and it's youth
ever fading youth. would you have lived differently if you had known
this life was on loan?
all of these nights you just trawl the same streets. tell the same stories
you count the heart beats. obsess with the death of the miracle days. i can feel all your dreams start to flicker and fade. and it's youth
ever fading youth. would you have lived differently if you had known
