bones

i trust you to trust my trust in trusting myself
i trust i'll say it over and over again
until it means absolutely nothing
and it won't hurt no more
i wake i wake i wake in the early morning
it's a damp, dark time without the glory
first light cuts cold into my brittle chest
this is no time to be alive
breath siphoned into microphones
outside the window, there is fire in the pond
suppose that's dangerous
just let me look a little longer

human, human, human bones
found in the middle of my home
human, human, human bones
shed, ejected, dropped, and outgrown
two hundred six manifestos
bury them, let nobody know
human, human, human bones
found in the middle of my home

i trust me to trust you when i trust noone else
i trust this is fucked up, but well,
i'll say it over and over again
until it means nothing
i'll cast the ugly out by repetition
i'll shake this body until it listens
i'll hold it tight until it cracks
and moans and sighs
oh, our insides have always been haunted
more than our woods and more than our houses
circle my gut with table salt
i will need your blood to make this call
so, maybe stay a little longer

human, human, human bones
found in the middle of my home
human, human, human bones
shed, ejected, dropped, and outgrown
two hundred six manifestos
bury them, let nobody know
human, human, human bones
found in the middle of my home
