Salt bridge

I watch the hands move across your face
If i were only big
Moving slow
The longest race
The sharpest teeth sink
And i can't move and i can't see
The needle clicks through all that lace
And when the first leaf starts to shake
And make it's way to shield the ground
Diamonds fall over your face
Know that i'd give every drop of hate
Just to see your trembling hands
Wave goodbye again
I remember all those sounds
I used to make
So fake and loud
To cover things i should have learned
The deepest hum that you engage
This dark red river down my drain
And all the sons that take your place
They all, fall, down
Read your dream
