Blanket

Written on Oct 11, 2020

Verse 1
When the snow falls on the pavement, 
And the ice coats the ground, 
When the cold pierces the air, 
You are lost, I can’t be found, 
The strange comfort of our silence, 
Resonating discontent, 
We can make ourselves a blanket, 
You and I we can pretend, 

Chorus 
Breathe now, here’s how 
We are waiting for our time. 
It’s hard, I know, 
Put your faith out on the line, 
When the stars are merely night lights,
And the sun ceases to shine, 
You and I we have this blanket, 
The greatest cover of pretense - divine 

Verse 2
Do you love me? Like I love you? 
Am I your ticket to the world?
Yes, I’m a safari adventure, 
One touch and insecurities unfurl, 
Walls surround us, we can break them, 
Hibernating dreams,Release and send, 
We can make ourselves a blanket, 
You and I we can pretend,

Chorus
Breathe now, here’s how 
We are waiting for our time. 
It’s hard, I know, 
Put your faith out on the line, 
When the stars are merely night lights,
And the sun ceases to shine, 
You and I we have this blanket, 
The greatest cover of pretense - divine 

Verse 3 
When the broken hearts stop beating, 
Dark impression take its toll, 
You and I will make our blanket…

Chorus 

Breathe now, here’s how 
We are waiting for our time. 
It’s hard, I know, 
Put your faith out on the line, 
When the stars are merely night lights,
And the sun ceases to shine, 
You and I we have this blanket, 
The greatest cover of pretense - divine

My Beloved

poem by Hannah O'Neill

My beloved, she is like the sea, In all of its ephemeral fancy, Casting waves to wash away, All hopes of glorious victory, And with such beautiful simplicity, She commands both heart and soul to her will. My beloved is a becko... Read more
