Between Rupture And Rapture
by Thursday· from War All the Time
In the veins of the ultraviolet light, the phosphor is starting a fire, shooting up in the iodine; it's turning on. Rupture the wall around my heart. I feel so lost, I've been shaking, you can't save me (forget what the doctor said). Every bird in mid-flight is calling out your name before it hits the window and sings the rapture. Without a second opinion, the chemicals saturate to counteract the code. Through the double-helix we are twisting (too scared to let this go). Someone call the head nurse. She's coming to the capitol to wrap us up and throw us in the dirst with a dream that's turning off. We are coming to the Capitol. The distance between us will rupture. In our hearts the disease won't touch us. Love, now it's too late to turn this off. Alone is all we are, even when we feel this close, it's just a lie we believe...these are the words that escape from our lungs, rupture the wall I've built around my heart. I've been shaking. You can't save me, I'm turning off. We can't find a way out of this moment. We're lost in a dark hallway.
