Papermache was my brain
As I walked through the clay.
The middle east cleans
All the nightmare machines,
The figure eights drawn on my temple
When I was nineteen.
And I’ll never know
Who you were
Feet on the dash,
Telling me stars
Were the imprint of rain
Falling on glass.
I sent you my love
On a fingerprint thumb.
Anonymous trust
Fell the world
From up above.
Fell asleep once
With your name on my teeth.
Woke the next morning,
Swear to god,
I couldn’t breathe.
And I’ll never trust
The local radio
For your poor excuse
For love letters sent
Long ago.
Hold on
To pieces blowing through a funnel.
Crumble, It’s easier never knowing.
And I’m still hedging,
Bets on stars and guessing.
Just to hold on to nothing at all.
Hold on
I’m sleeping now in the winter.
New growth, a tougher pill to swallow.
And she is just the water, under the bridge to follow,
Just an old road full of ice and snow.
