lyrics

And we opened ourselves up
in a way I hope the earth never does.
Our friendship, solid as concrete,
held fever at its core.

And we were so hot
our energy triggered fire alarms
at every graffiti-stained hole in the wall.
Every rumble of rum
or tremor of tequila
shook us from the inside
and knocked us off our feet.

And we walked into rooms
knowing death
or ecstasy
was one breath away.

And we were natural disasters,
too hot to touch.
Hard-headed gamblers
flipping a coin
to chase tail.

And we were Goliaths in a holy story
that didn’t need any more giants.
I was poetry, promise,
and power trips. Turned on
by every sudden release
of energy, talking my way
in and out of rock-solid aftershocks.

And we were weekend warriors,
temporary residents in our own homes,
paying the price to a liquid landlord
who told us that
heat held inside
can not stay underground forever.

And it was beautiful.
