today I woke to find my arms
a half an inch beside
where I thought i'd left them
three days ago I noticed
that the slope of my feet
was 13 degrees off
and I would like
nothing more but for your standing by me
but I feel scared
that there isn't room because i am beside me these days
there is a wildness in me
born before I was born
a subtle creak in my bones
voices from past seeds
begging to be heard, their teeth and tongues
try to sing me home
and I would like
nothing more but for your standing by me
but I feel scared
that there isn't room because i am beside me these days

gauzy laughter and then

i’m ambitionless
but for to sit at this bar
with
let’s be
let’s give a little
let’s let it be a little
let’s be
let’s give a litte
let’s let a little be
viscera serene
all the little bits
of
i’m ready to quit
except for

the night's become the church of us
holy, holy
my skin's a beating leather drum
hold me, hold me
my heart's asleep
that sounds weak, i know
please do not wait for me
i'm always late
let's us be, be, be
i see you see me
the day's become a pent-up song
sing me, sing me
your skin is delicate, i know
i'll go slowly
your heart's awake and ready to go
you should have somebody
who's on time
let's us be, be, be
i see you see me
holy, holy

you might have thought that you did right by her
all that she needed was a mother
you might have felt under-appreciated
all that she needed was for you to love her
you speak in tongues and somnolent glances
you are so glorious when you take a chance
and there are plenty of us whose problem is feelin' it all at once
and there are plenty of us who simply need to be touched
i might have thought that I did right by you
all that you needed was an answer
i couldn't ask for you to come here
all that i needed was for you to be there
you speak in tongues and somnolent glances
you are so glorious when you take a chance
and there are plenty of us whose problem is feelin' it all at once
and there are plenty of us who simply need to be touched

did you lose your day again
did you lose your compass
and forget what it means to be a man
what does man even mean
did you forget that you're free
did you think that you could simply
take it all out on me
never had to be mean
i was born a woman
to bear the brunt of
hoping to die a small child
with someone to run to
you, i never wanted to
rely on someone to
be the compass to
i forgot my morning
i forgot my reason
to get up and try it all again
all i ever wanted was to be
i forgot i can be free
i thought that i should just simply
take it all out on me
all i ever wanted was you and me
i was born a woman
to bear the brunt of
hoping to die a small child
with someone to run to
you, i never wanted to
rely on someone to
be a compass to
