metallic.words (t'afari steede) - prologue lyrics
i tried to trace footprints in my skin
the way we did in the sand
after you decided
the beach
wasn’t enough for you
nails leaving imprints
of something akin to
scattered seash+lls on a sea+bed of:
“you knew what you signed up for”
well, children are afraid of the ocean
until they are dipped under the waves
for the first time they
discover they enjoy the feeling
of playing in the sun
even when sandcastlеs are destroyed
do you think
if wе built it
further away from the shore
it would have stayed?
fingers brushing against mine
as we made sure all the sh+lls stayed in place
maybe a
fortress of stones to keep the shallows away
do you think it would have melted under the sun’s gaze
searing rays of
nothing lasts forever?
the rain eventually comes
surfing through coasts of adoration
you missed the waves on reciprocation
they sweep by me
i was lost
but i told you where to find me
how do you always jump in so blindly?
if you truly understood what love meant
or believed it when you said it then
i wouldn’t be stuck here in suspense
so we just sit on the sands as the waves run by
