What You Wanna Know?

Eden Mate
We are each others’ special places Wearing for each other special faces When you need it give you space When you feed it fill your spaces No fire burns without sustainment No battle won with bloodless raiment Yet rainbows are, rain hitting the car Like blood hitting floor one guy one jar Can’t keep us…
