Degrees

So summer reached this tranquil place.
Extended you, pulled passed your grace.
Intimidated everything.
Now we stand face down in full swing.

The blood from your temple taps the beat.
Around our feet.
I stand and wait to hear your word.
The never quite so plain preferred.

And if you want to see me step away,
I'll just lie down here, right here, and never move.
Until you're gone.
And I'm faded.

Ahead of time I make amends, and hope you will return.
But how I choose to do so, that is none of your concern.
Neither for the ones who try to blame your death on me.
I say I looked through fingers to a tolerable degree.

And if you want to see me step away,
I'll just lie down here, right here, and never move.
Until you're gone.
And I'm faded.

Are you eavesdropping?
Are you eavesdropping?
You should be eavesdropping.
To a tolerable degree, blaming her death on me.

So summer reached that tranquil place.
Extended her, pulled passed my grace.
Intimidated everything.
Now I stand face down in full swing.

Face down.
