Unwritten Price

It's a silly dream of you and I To walk this dangerous path of absolution Every day we ask each other why Too scared to breathe and too drunk to run Intoxicating, the way we speak in glances Following our path with reckless abandon So out of touch from lives of second chances How bitter we are, from games never won At the brink of the abyss, we share a forbidden kiss Homophobic stares are the best we can hope for The unwritten price to pay for moments full of bliss Their weapons are sharpened slurs, more violent than before Laughing like we know, we should have died years ago So what's the harm in throwing caution to the wind? Somehow we never lost our minds, in spite of all we know Holding on, we tilt our heads, to see a bit better around the bend
