Secret Hideout

Keycard click,
metal door slide.
You trace my name
on the caution sign.
Red light hum
on your sharpened smile.
(Red light hum
on your sharpened smile).
We’re off the map
for a little while.

Down the stairs where,
the signal dies.
You say my real name
once, then twice.
If they ever find us
let them try.
We already left
their world behind.

In our secret hideout
we can burn this whole night down.
Dark room, glowing eyes –
no one else is allowed.
Lock the world on the outside,
throw the codes in the fire.
In our secret hideout
you’re my beautiful crime.

Boots on wires
dust in the beams.
You pin my back
to the concrete seams.
You draw a heart
in the fogged glass pane.
Then drag a line
right through my name.

Every scar has
a story filed.
You read them all
with a vicious smile.
If the city’s hunting –
let it howl.
We’re a ghost transmission
fading out.

In our secret hideout
we can burn this whole night down.
Dark room, glowing eyes –
no one else is allowed.
Lock the world on the outside,
throw the codes in the fire.
In our secret hideout
you’re my beautiful crime.

Whisper what you’re scared to say (right here).
Trace it on my skin in grey (don’t fear).
If the morning ever breaks this spell,
we’ll build another deeper cell.

In our secret hideout
we can burn this whole night down.
Dark room, glowing eyes –
no one else is allowed.
Lock the world on the outside,
let it all expire.
In our secret hideout
you’re my beautiful crime.
