Phantoms of Terra

she switched the passport
and slowed my hand
I tripped the wire
in no mans land
we should’ve gone down
like all the rest
but in alleyways so dark
we passed the test
we dropped the daylight
& killed the noise
chased the sunrise
by our own choice
I kicked the door down
to your apartment house
you were cold and gray
and hollowed out
I should’ve left you
my life was spent
but in my heart of hearts
you were the best
dropped the daylight
killed the noise
chased the sunset
by my own choice
we lost our names
as we traded lies
phantoms of terra
shadows & spies
take my hand now
drop me off
burn the parcel
shut your mouth
kill the mark
and then disappear
no one will ever know
that we were here…
we lost our names
as we traded lies
phantoms of terra
shadows & spies
