Hourglass Heartbeat Lyrics

Amber holds your clavicle's ellipse

Each crack a failed eclipse of want

Honey-thick the resin in my palms

Your fossil blooms in negative space

Suture veins where moonlight trespassed

Grains collect where your pulse should rise

(stop the clock)

My thumbs erase your wrist's meridians

(stop the clock)

Sand's a sugar glass (shatter slow)

Heartbeat's arrhythmia on show

I polish what the fractures owe

(stop the clock)

A century per grain we tow

(stop)

Silica slips through pores you lack

Morse code tapped on a shard's back

Your eyelids quartz—still refusal

To witness how the pressure welds

My breath to your formaldehyde

Grains collect where your tongue should break

(start the rot)

I barter seconds for your synecdoche

(start the rot)

Sand's a sugar glass (pressure grows)

Heartbeat's arctic tone bestowed

I catalogue what fractures show

(start the rot)

An eon's blush through your vertigo

(start)

Forgive the hour I chiseled 'please'

Your amber skin my new disease

(I would stay)

If timelines bent like birch in freeze

(so stay)

Sand's a sugar glass (you're glass)

Heartbeats filed to phantom mass

Your silhouette outlives the math

(stalled)

We rust beneath stopped clocks' last gasp

Five drips dissolve where lips withdraw

Three drips rename this flaw as law

One drip—your breath my cerebellum

(......)

(silica washes)
