paw
03:45
|

still have the imprint of a paw on my chest
the fur ingrained in fibers
a clarifying stillness
a security in warmth
a phantom limb
that asks for nothing
your paw on my chest
is all I have in mind
upon return, a fragile life
a phantom limb that asks for nothing
but for a place to call home

sacharrine
03:17
|

miles of man made prisons, measured as commodity
wrapped in the illusion of once removed
staring at an object, exposing the blame
saccharine, time and time again
a sudden surge of feeling, a peak inside our failures
so what is it all for?
filling in boxes and proving our worth?
is compassion such a chore?
is that smoke creeping in under the door?
ignore it, stamp it out
gasp for air, panic and pass out

downpour
02:44
|

it’s in the quiet moment in the curving of an arm
in the whisper in the dead of night
it’s in the fingers of a palm
there’s a bruise, an unpleasant sight
a shining flaw and it’s burning bright
it’s a stretch, an effort
the sinews bulge under the skin
the fruit turns sour as it passes the lips
the sugar dissipates
to reveal a sour fix
bottled up and set to burst
a disappointing and unrelenting downpour

lung
04:12
|
|||
can’t reach inside and hold on to that
an abstract feeling
indifferent and always slightly off track
it slips between your fingers
that blockage in your lung
here comes the feeble excuse
the concession and the step down
to imagine this once felt indispensable
can’t fathom the weight on your shoulders
risking your ego, a terrifying feat
it slips between your fingers
that blockage in your lung

glue
03:17
|
|||
i fret that every moment will escape my grasp
that the present will evaporate and disappear into the past
familiarity free of contempt
there’s an understanding that comes from a life together
it means i owe all the happiness in my life to you
each time a part of me breaks off
you’re there holding the glue
