Be Awake For This in Book 1

My eyes don’t need to see the things you do

I can sense it just fine

In the quiet evening moments 

With your arms slung around my neck 

I take you in and I know everything I need to

And I get high in the afterglow

If you want me 

Come and fight for my distempered heart

I’m here waiting and restless, sweating and impatient

But the depths I’ll plunge to for this cannot be obtained without sacrifice

And I will reap what I sow

You’ve pulled me into you,

Jesus Christ, I beg for a second of air

My chest beats like a void dying in the embers of a chosen light

So low and quiet at first but then your lips touch mine

And my hearts a blazing inferno
