Something to Live For
Two men of simple names
Each from their own nowhere towns
Apart suffering through mind games
Always on the edge of another breakdown
-⟡⋆˙-⟡⋆˙-⟡⋆˙-⟡⋆˙-⟡⋆˙-
Reaching out for something more
Hands almost touching
Neither sure if the other feels it too
Like maybe they’d been here before
But never made it through
────── ⊹₊꒷︶꒷꒦‧₊˚⊹︰꒷ ──────
The closer that they got
The quieter it became
Not gone
But not everything the same
They tether together

Not fearing the weather
-⟡⋆˙-⟡⋆˙-⟡⋆˙-⟡⋆˙-⟡⋆˙-
They said the things we couldn’t
Put language to before
Turned silence into something
We could finally explore
────── ⊹₊꒷︶꒷꒦‧₊˚⊹︰꒷ ──────
The truth of their demons
Help us escape
Or just cope inside their dreamscape
All because they dared to
Reach out for something more
And somewhere in between it
We found something to live for
