lyrics

the i will choose who’s
implicated in my happiness
hear there the bells’ bloom
frozen echoes of a vacant nest

and when she seems sure
she’s a pillow in a prickly place
she sleeps on the floor
where the flat and straight recalibrate

i miss my old room
when i wake up late and miss the sun
my pallid cheeks prove
what is obvious to everyone

irregular food
is how i consolidate control
ignoring the truth
is the cushion of my vitriol

at twenty three feet above the ground
how can i dance without looking down?
if i’m at home in your skinny town
how can i dance without looking down?

the wine in our eyes
describes silhouettes of a son
look at me real close
i’m trying to give you a choice
see now, you see how
you got the sweetness in your voice
see now, you see how
you got yourself a hell of a voice
