Stay

words & music by Brian E. Langston
(original version recorded by Babelfish42)

the sky's a maze of stars
the distant moon's a bone white fire
I'm sinking through this air tonight
sinking like a stone in water
thinking of your cold dark smile

of your cold bare shoulders
of your cold denial
of my lips cold against your
cold against your jaded smile

parallel lines cross across the horizon
where every point is distant from the center
I can't even think to finish this rhyme
sinking like a stone in water
thinking of your cold dark smile

of your cold bare shoulders
of your cold denial
of my lips cold against your
cold against your jaded smile

cold cold December dark
cross my eyes and cut my heart
I'm vanishing, I'm vanishing
I'm vanishing in the distance
cold cold December dark
cross my eyes and cut my heart
I'm sinking, I'm sinking
won't you throw me a line

even as you close your eyes
won't you whisper something please
even as you close your eyes
won't you whisper something please
even as you close your eyes
won't you whisper something please
even as you close your eyes
can't you see I'm sinking

cold cold December dark
cross my eyes and cut my heart
I'm vanishing, I'm vanishing
I'm vanishing in the distance
cold cold December dark
cross my eyes and cut my heart
I'm sinking, I'm sinking
won't you throw me a line
