lyrics

~lyrics~

“if i should say less,
would that leave you wanting more?”
“is that what you learned
against your parents’ door?”

a child of white noise
and mirrors painted over.
we fucked up when
we collared our old lives.

it’s hard to swallow
all the bloodlust.
a door forced open,
like teeth to tile.
a tempest.

“did you guess we’d
tear one another to shreds?
is that why you spend your time
tearing up your skin instead?”

“you thought me gleaming,
a flash behind your eyes.
i think it fair that
i deny myself that pride.”

i am playing
out an old dream:
a row of egrets;
your father spoke of
sympathy

a bird leans in close,
it whispers something
of scarcely tempered rage.
i speak it back to you;
you’re silent.

in the backseat, both
our first and last times,
i didn’t mean to make our bed,
but god, i feel cold as i lie in it.
