Ask this girl

You for me

In the dark

What did you see?



First I stopped listening ‘til I couldn't hear

Then I stopped living out of books and mirrors

Then I stopped looking ‘til I couldn't see

When I say darkness this is what I mean



Ask this girl

Eye to mind

In the dark

What did you find?



And in the dark I touch with all my toes

And in the dark I taste with all my teeth

And in the dark I kiss and dance and scream

I'm not afraid of being anything



And I remember when I was a kid

Feeling about unicorns the way I did

First I poked through to it like a stitch in time

Now I am reuniting horn and mind



I will buck up against the city lights

When it goes blurry and I am afraid

‘Til I can feel you uncompromised

‘Til I can feel you
