lyrics

You’ll live longer than me,
Your organs alone aren’t busied
With healing themselves every morning.
I’ll be beyond medicine,
In one year or sixty.
I promised different outcomes,
When half-asleep or drunk.
My future’s getting misty.

I can’t escape the race,
Or the slowing pace of my parts,
Following the heat, day-in day-out.
Weigh in and weigh out and ask yourself,
Am I worth your broken heart?

Supine with dirt in my nails,
Nightly with mud on my shoes,
I stare at dusky, stucco mountains
Absorbed in endless counting.
How will I know you’re awake?
Your sleeping face is turned away
From the winter in the window,
To the picture of a widow.

What happens when you wake up,
Scramble up to hands and knees,
And turn to see the mattress top,
And indented, vacant peace?
You’ll live longer than me,
My future’s getting misty.
I will crack under the weight of sleep,
You can see the plates move inside me.

I will fade from you like a picture left
Outside for far too long,
With the sunlight beaming on and on,
Erasing all of the evidence
It made at the beginning.
But I will never know,
And we will never know,
If I am worth your broken heart.
