lyrics

running, but eyes stick to the beading sweat on my body
folding closer into where my veins meet

fraying into static ends
hoping for more broken shards to build with
the glass is not reflective

or i just can’t see myself
shelved with other gaping mouths

words torn from lips until there’s nothing else
sight is a cloth that’s wearing out

sea crashes on cracked boughs
drowning in a fallen house

my body is useless
my body is useless
my body is useless

if i hide their use for it
in growth and silence

in death and triumph
in care and acting out
