To See You Alive - Flatsound

You can’t be by yourself

You can’t be by yourself

They kept you in the dark

In a room with nothing sharp

Until you were well

You told me that you were so

Scared of what they know

But love isn’t afraid

Love is using your first name

In the poems that I wrote

Follow me to a home

Abandoned at the shore

There’s a story on the walls

Written in marker across the halls

That you’ll adore

And no one can see us now

Like the sun behind the clouds

Let’s grab a drink for lunch

And wash out the taste of blood

From our guilty mouths

When you stepped into the light

I saw it running down your thighs

And thought what a beautiful sight

To see you alive
