lyrics

we were already built on digging through frost
on biting our nails to let the blood run
in the silence we learned to be rough
in the anguish we learned to be soft
I was wrong for calling this home
our bones collected in baskets with people we know
let a pile of dust on a giant’s window
let warmth in through cracks in the shadows
throw the shovel over your shoulder
the growing season is over
withered as the nights get longer
in the winter freeze and stutter
in the cold we hold each other
I will rot before I let go

before I held my body
in fragments of sky and string
a scarecrow to the rotting
I’m sorry for forgetting
fabric draped over the lampshade
to keep the light in
ink on my skin
to make it permanent
thank my hands for what they’ve created
in the wake of my body’s destruction
for holding me to living

faith is a form of dissociation
and god is a form of accepting it
