trapeze

high above
high above everything
you make your presence known
they all kiss the ring

you see a moment of weakness
telling your wishes to me
why try to take it back
why swim against the sea

feels like i'm on a trapeze
danger below
danger in the trees

out where it's not safe
what if i told you my secrets
what if i took your place

i fall off spinning
i fall off every night
into the void that is you
into that urgent midnight

below us there is no net
i know this and so do you
the world brings its own reasons
but ours can make us stay true
