Birthday

by Aayushi

lyrics

standing barefoot just outside
watching cars slip backwards through the drive
I lost your eyes in the hedge
didn't expect to keep them past midnight

and without them to light the street
the leaves are feeling out for anything
but twigs just argue when they touch
they cross and make the darkness look so intricate

making a wish to disappear
to sink into the gravel every year
but the front door stays open wide
I'll blink and I'll follow my brothers back inside

the moths are meeting in the porch
to worship the caged candle on the floor
oh god you are as beautiful
as the balloon that's blue and clinging to the wall
