What happens when the lights go out?
when the turn table stops
and your eyes adjust to the darkness
What happens when the blood slows?
when the setting changes
and the birds sing a different song

A momentary lapse of tranquility
and the fist comes falling down.
Reality sets in and nature follows suit
it rolls in on that red carpet of trust
of lust
of persuasion
and delivers swift defeat to hungry hearts.

So what happens when your speech turns real?
when your eyes can see past illusions
and your hands can grip the future

A fleeting glimpse of short lived romance is left in the dust
