Heavy Air from Exchange by Emily Bezar

blue sky in the morning went grey the afternoon
he came without warning, but he was gone so soon
they said to be careful, that zing’s the zing of doom
but how was I to avoid it when it filled the room?

all the feathers in this heavy air
now float around the border of my bloody moon
someone teach me how to never care again
if he hates this tune

brave misunderstandings and loose little rules
the scars and the brandings we parade like jewels
but I still believe in the brute force of love
it storms, does not seep in, it will break, burn and shove

all the feathers in this heavy air
now float around the border of my bloody moon
someone teach me how to never care again
if he hates this tune

I am falling through the sky
baby galleons pass me by
all hands on deck! hoist the merry sails! aren’t we ready yet?
anchors aweigh anchors aweigh anchors aweigh
anchors awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

blocked and obstructed, still caught in the door
but I see the end of the hallway and it’s worth fighting for

all the feathers in this heavy air
now float around the border of my bloody moon
someone teach me how to never care again
if he hates this tune
