lyrics

but I’ll wake up hungry with breathing and dishes
cold clothes cover the windows like my body was born with curtains
distance is a form of communication
and sewing a womb to sail off in is a start
these arms need tools to determine what they’ll become
sometimes I like to think I was enough
until this trail has grown I know you won’t think I’m gone
someday what I am will be enough

if I give my body to the water will you listen
for my voice calling back from the raft I left in
struggling to cut the rope I’m tethered with
feel guilty when I get in
to feel nothing where my body ends
to help something begin
and if I return
it will be somewhere my bones can feel solid holding weight
when I wake
take my tired arms and show me where my chest is
wrap my body in itself until I believe there’s warmth where it ends
that these limbs are worth more than the wooden box I’m given
that my body is worth living past this violence
that I can hold the hammer beneath my ribs
and build something i can live with
or leave in
