This was originally intended to be a duet, but I crossed too many lines too many times. I debuted this to a bunch of half strangers half-way across the world all at the same time. I'm glad they liked it.

lyrics

i wore black for you that night, you wore me white
but those shades are too stark for us
we learned: we prefer grey
we learned: we prefer...

i was the one under the light, you held me tight
but that was later after the revelry
we learned: we prefer shadows
we learned...

there is a question you should not answer
keep it simple, keep it true
there is a line we draw together
and i keep crossing it

we are an unfinished song; we are a melody
we are a chorus of bedpost confessions
our harmony was unseen
our harmony ...

we are a portal, a passage, a dark secret alley
a drug, an addiction, we know what we’re doing
or do we know where to go
do we? i don't know

there is a question you should not answer
keep it simple, keep it true
there is a line we draw together
and i keep crossing it
over and over again

are we ghosts for each other, phantoms of wanting
are we shadows of fear, well, what do we fear
getting near, nearer to
near, nearer to

another verse in this rhyme, this psalm of lost bodies
another rhyme in this line do you know where it’s going
with you?
going with you

there is a question you should not answer
keep it simple, keep it true
there is a line we draw together
and i keep crossing it
over and over again
