Lingers the need

 
my ache you graze, but fail to really connect
chained to a masochistic need I plead for release
turning in the sinful rise. I too lust
you hold the key refusing to sate me

my thoughts turn treacherous and dark
seeking asylum in the sky
I touch the blue, escaping chastisement for the moment
and I am able to breathe

blind, I feel my way to the deep black
climbing notes I find my safe place

I alone reside
my magics are traceless
you found my need

have you also shared my maddening illness?

skyscraping, gridlocked I coded the ley lines
being extra careful I wonder...are you that somebody
slipping inside the song I leave a clue

should I let you go
fly, fly, fly away sweet Jesus
