Two Headed Shadow

Luke De-Sciscio

Compositor: Luke De-Sciscio

A whole new future
Lifted from the wound
Is now transfixed on a red light over my shoulder
I hold her
And she makes my hands look huge
With only sounds
What does red light mean to you?
Is it the womb?

You were born behind a curtain
Yves klein blue
And we focussed on each other
Whilst they rummaged for you
And when you were exhumed
We heard you sing the blues
I've got a good mind to live for you

Now we cast a two headed shadow
You're like me you drink for two
When you get drinking at midnight
You don't stop till you pass out
And your mother is exhausted
I was the first to exhaust her
And make her weary of my drinking

I am waiting for the colour of your eyes to come in
At this point they're any colour
Depending on the light of the room we are in

The other day I think saw your very first tear fall down
From your mother's eye
I will be the first man to love you
And the last man to make your mother cry

Now we cast a two headed shadow
You're like me you drink for two
When you get drinking at midnight
You don; t stop til you pass out
And your mother is exhausted
I was the first to exhaust her
And make her weary of my drinking
