lyrics

Pick beneath your nails.
Bite and eat your cuticles,
The fraying ends of your skin,
The scattered proof you’re nervous.
The purr gets louder every minute;
It sizzles in your stomach,
The fear I’ve felt this all before.
You’re tired of the tour
Of my stations of anxieties,
Long silences and lost pieties.
The world keeps turning.

This hourglass we’re living
Feels more like a desert when you’re living in it.

Standing in line for the train to the airport,
I can only wonder what you’re scared for.
If I leave, I hope I can come back,
That there’s no permanent lack
Of love on account of choices,

I don’t want to feel consequence.
We never had any kids.
We only share a few friends.
And I can afford to lose them.
Maybe my hands can get handsome again.
Maybe I’ll tame my wild skin.
Maybe then these stubby fingers
Could write you a letter—
A chicken-scratch story you’ve already told better.
