Our shared paths unraveling behind us like ribbons

   How long till someone caves under the pressure?

   My dreams are haunted by armies, armies of ghosts

 Faces too blurry to make out

 Numbers far too high to measure

  Your face like a vision straight out of Holly Hobbie

G      D     Asus4                    A
  Late light drizzling through your hair

  Your eyes,      twin volcanoes
