Too late, Outer Banks
just another way to fear a wake,
Whirleds away never meant to be debated
Tonight turned it off
white, illusorily soft
This side waits, their side prays to be fated
Two lanes, two loves and a yellow faded line
ambiguously seeding sumwards,
some words sung
Two days out of bangs
and your name is still too hard to say
worlds away 'til my baby's at peace state
you tuned out for a break
static singing in your place
Your side plays, my side stays medicated
Too late
two loves in a complicated line
ambiguously searing some burns
Sunburns stung.
Some stung.
Some centered sons will saunter on,
cinders on the waterlogged
but these sinner's lungs will alter calls and
summer songs with some words gone.
Summer's sung with some words flipped
Filling blanks and floating wrongs
We'll lift our hands and sync our -ships
in summary morse 'til summer's gone.
Some are songs with some words gone
sing summer songs when summer's gone
Some are sung with some words gone
Sum or sung when someone's gone
...
