lyrics

I have to ask
are you the snake that swallows its lover?
Three years ago
would I have cleaved my arms?
I have the distinct impression
that you have sketched this
by proxy

You caught me
off gaurd
by your control of pixels
I never thought of you
beyond nerves
and I am starting to realize
you may love the cold

Was it training
or the gathering of strength?
When it happens you know I’ll break
I have been practicing
for longer than appropriate
and am fully aware
of its nature

I am obsessing with borrowed mythologies
abstractions of my episodic communities
the more points
the more complex
and the hope that the constellation will be
meaningful

I rely on dimming stars
and the wetting of dry beds
to record narrative
a purposefully unreliable companion
to tell stories of how
things shall be

This electric ideal
we forget fingers
for the good of the arm

The first mistake
is thinking that looking back
sees one path
when choices are overlaid
we choose our trimmings
and create words for outside
the talk of other branches
truth in flecks of mica and
distortion
a call with different static

It is a wonder
we can even speak
