lyrics

I will take these cobwebs from my skin
lend you my life as thread to sew with
see time as fabric we can find shelter in
see age as the space we inhabit
found space between cloth and mattress and tried to stay hidden
realize from the outside we have grown into mountains

from there you look in
and i feel your eyes in the light let through my ribs
my organs have been blind to the size of the cage we live in
it has grown since I was a kid
I am held by this body
but now I can spread my arms to the edges
until I am close to open
with these arms I’ll welcome those who share this prison
and hope it grows again
there is no leaving
this body is human
there is no breaking out if it leaves this body broken
I’ll tell my hands I have committed to this life
I’ll use them to make a home of the bones I’m held in
your wings are folded and still pressed to these wooden edges
splintered from the ways they’ve tried to open
still, stretch your body farther than this coffin
and I will stretch my hands
to reach your body where they hold it in
we will take more space than we are given
and use it to hold breath
to say

pray with me to someday rest
in the unassociated light of societal desolation
none of these feelings I’ll truly comprehend
I was raised in your hands
and only when I die in them
will this curse be put to rest inside of me
long live humanity
free in our abandonment
