1.
Could you huddle close for a moment? For I am flesh and bone My hands are brazen with the book and with the bottle But can’t contain all that I’ve done I’ve done But what have I done? What have I done? What have I become? So I stood with the swagger of a gunman Bellowed I don’t wanna be drunk no more I’ll make a path of patience and of kindness And watch my tracks dissolve in the soil I’ve been swaddling this pain for so long It’s just now I’m loving everyone
2.
I’m howling at the city This arrangement that’s captured me Want the landscapes of prairies Kind brooks and benign slopes Kindly guide the eyes upwards To where the clouds drift like tin boats And I’d think they were God’s breath If I didn’t know science Oh I’d think they were God’s breath And the forms change It’s phantasmagoric And they stretch and contort like a blanket Like the yeasty head of a beer Oh and nobody knows that I’m here Oh and nobody’s thinking of me Oh and nobody calls me baby But I can’t say I’m lonely.
3.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feeling older And if I said my arms were shaking less And if I said that I was getting any better at hiding Dear we could be alone tonight Alone together, alone tonight. I'd be lying if I said I did the miss the Lazy autumn nights, and if I said My brain didn't ache without Something to think about. Every single day Even moreso than the last I become even more sure that this house and this body is made only of glass.
4.
I don't want to be here tonight I don't want to be anywhere at all Sunspots in your eyes make me insane How long can I waste? counting days. Sundress, hair ties, sadness & a heatwave Littered all over my back room. How long will it take? How long will you love me before we both move on? How long can we waste? Counting days.
