lyrics

I drove back home in the dark
when all was said and done
I crystallized in time
my epitaph stuck on the tip of my tongue
I cursed a vulnerable heart
And I dug in deep a scar
Just to see if I bleed,
Could I wrest myself from the numb?

Encased in wilting weather
Of an evening wrought
With petal-picking hypotheticals
Over and through the bottles
And the funnel cake dust
I stood as you shook me like a cold

I know you lied to me
I know you lied to me
I still wake grinding my teeth

I stood alone as you watched me
atrophy
In the time between uncertainty
and my trembling teeth now
I'm picking at that scab
that I never let heal, in fact,
the impression dried like I was
wet cement on an autumn night
God damn
I'm wishing I hadn't just
let you twist me
into a predictable
panicky
paradigm

For all the spines in their sweaters
Like cattails caught in a flood
Floated by me whether or not
I could feel inside a
souring of my blood

I know you lied to me
I'm still unravelling
I still wake grinding my teeth

//

All in time
I'll be alright
I've seen it in the sky
I've seen it in my mind
