Avenue

Cold air in the wires

Street glass under tires

I drift through the blocks with a hole in the night Chrome

in my thoughts and the rain talks white Back room glow on

the wall of my head Footsteps cut loops where the old words

bled I move like a rumor through steam and brick Heart on

a timer, hands too quick Organ line bends like a siren in

sleep I sow what I hide and I hide what I keep

Hold that note over the avenue Dark red sky in the rearview

I ride that tone till the frame comes loose Boom in my

chest when the bass cuts through Hold that note,

let the whole block sway Mind slips out then it folds my

way Fast lane scrape with a dream half-made Eyes half shut but

the route stays strange

Cold blue signs in the puddled street

Every thought got smoke on the beat I taste that rust in

the back of dawn Still ten deep when the calm is gone

Organ moans from a roofline seam Whole world tilts like a half-seen

scene Float with me Slow release Float with me No sleep Hold

that note over the avenue Dark red sky in the

rearview I ride that tone till the frame comes loose Boom in

my chest when the bass cuts through Hold that note,

let the whole block sway Mind slips out then it folds my

way Still awake Still away
