lyrics

moss is growing on my forearms
nick my skin when I shave it off
dissolve the growth with drugs
freeze and melt cracks in the sidewalk

my ribs are growing into antlers
gnarled as I bind them tighter
they reach higher than my body
past branches I can't see
my chest pulls to the lamplight
glowing far from my eyes
caught in metal pines
bending as they lie

I thought windows meant more light
but all I feel on my skin are searing eyes
ribs crack until chest takes flight
white lines grow when the temperature rises
this yarn catches on thorny vines
they've unraveled my insides
