A Case for Us - Buck 65, Kathrine Bergstrom

Maybe there’s a place for us to go.

Somewhere we can be alone

Where we are more than enough.

Love will make a case for us

There’s a place where we can hide.

Concerning.

Willing.

Burning

Building

Though the birds all know the words, quiet morning turning thrilling

Secret languages of the skin.

Agonizing.

Rising up above the din

Daily pain, the way we shove it in. It’s crazy, but maybe we could

Love again

Super heroine injured ninjas.

Hinges narrowing.

Flaws may show

Hell disguised itself as heaven.

Babies cry because they know

The beauty of violence refined

Magic and science combined.

We’re immune to the divine

Remedies for pain, remedies for long pauses

Remedies for rain, remedies for lost causes

Enemies dream, enemies all useless

Enemies scheme, enemies call truces

Lightning emanates from your fingers.

Tiny stars, they dot your eyes

You’ll be judged by how much love you give the world and not

Your lies

Just to know, for trust and grow, maybe there’s a place for us to

Go and wander the unknown, somewhere we can be alone

Is it real?

Can we trust?

Where we are way more than enough

Erase, adjust.

Place your trust.

Love will make a case for us

There’s no need to bleed to death, or walk the wire foolish one

Soon the worst part will be over.

April is the cruelest month

Wishes we forget about.

Under beds.

Behind our shelves

Sinking to the darkest depths.

Willingly, we blind ourselves

Crashing through branches of the tallest tree and several broke

The ground below and underneath.

Glowing red and devil’s smoke

Wondered.

Guessed.

Underdressed.

Dreamer versus pessimist

Hanging on for dearest life.

Dangling from a precipice

When you find your dying man, lay your hands upon him while

You wait to hear the verdict read, following your common trial

Sleeping on a bed of nails.

But I scrape by.

Wake up, then I break

My only vow

King Midas in reverse, to my dismay.

Look up in the sky and say

‘holy cow!'

Just to know, for trust and grow, maybe there’s a place for us to

Go and wander the unknown, somewhere we can be alone

Is it real?

Can we trust?

Where we are way more than enough

Erase, adjust.

Place your trust.

Love will make a case for us

Fireworks, severely started.

Fade to black.

Dearly departed

Room to grow, it’s beautifully doomed but you don’t know it

Tough love.

Take a break.

Respite pays

Fucked up, suicidal, desperate days

The hobbyist, unsatisfied, slept with strays

It’s obvious, we should go our separate way

Just to know, for trust and grow, maybe there’s a place for us to

Go and wander the unknown, somewhere we can be alone

Is it real?

Can we trust?

Where we are way more than enough

Erase, adjust.

Place your trust.

Love will make a case for us
