Cottonmouth Kisses, in scented smoke
in darkened bedrooms, fireflies awoke
little stars linger amidst our glazed eyes
guiding our shipwrecked souls in the tides
There are deserts in our tongues
that breed a liquid stasis
but when our stranded lips have met
--it makes oasis.
I'll breathe you in just to breathe you out
take you away on a fragrant cloud
your gentle fingers cling to the leaves
of purple flowers from the eaves
There's a landfill in our lungs
that hoards our wasted breaths
and as the plaster steals our air
it grants us heaven
I'll breathe you in, just to breathe you out
take you away on a fragrant cloud
cottonmouth kisses, oh wont you be
the bitter to my sweet~
