Fear,
The City melts but one a year
Waterfalls from stairs appear
Puddles swell like eyes with tears
"A Mad Girl's Love Song" is all I hear

Lead
The water runs I lay in bed
The liquid pools my limbs they spread
Stray dogs splash through streets unfed
"I shut my eyes and the world drops dead"

Light
Amber rays turn water white
Water falls from hidden sights
Sunlight spills without respite
Yesterday floats out of sight

Light
Lead
Fear

Light
Lead
Fear.
