Steam & Shadows

Track 5 from The Unseen Chorus (A Gay Musical)

Full Lyrics

Steam rises off the tiles
Shadows stretch across the wall
I tell myself it's just a place to breathe
But my body knows better

Steam hides the hunger
Shadows lick the wall
Bodies pass in all their glory
And I want them all

He brushed my arm
I said Not here
He laughed and pressed closer
He replied No one's watching

Hands on my skin mouths I don't see
Losing myself in anonymity
One more touch I'm already gone
Steam and shadows carry me on
Already gone already gone

Heat against my chest
Fingers trace the line
Every mouth is open
And tonight they're mine

I said Don't stop
He moaned Stay still
Water dripping heartbeat racing
Neither of us cared for names

Hands on my skin mouths I don't see
Losing myself in anonymity
Every breath pulls me deeper down
Steam and shadows I can't turn around
Already gone already gone
