nighttime's our security

the stars watch us like guardian angels

skeletons of lives to come

just frames to fill with living and dying

signatures in permanent

we write our names like claiming a part of time

layers of paint and fiberglass cover our words

we're in the foundations 



this is what i give you

rooftops with secret views

fire escapes lead us to heaven

train yards where we hide together



nighttime's our security

the stars watch us like guardian angels

take these letters from an old sign

now you've got your initials
