Lyrics:
birds
they move quickly and are easily startled
i'm sitting on my fingers and metacarpals
you're grinning while there's a brittle singing in my head that warbles
toes nip me like dogs in the park do
kisses linger as i fidget in conditions of..
sonorous i'm feeding sparrows
ya for ya'll ill a knee and barrel
it's summer and i'm slurring words doubled over company of fields to harrow -nothing
it's apparent
stiffness in your chi and pharynx
birds
you were sipping on a tea
we would settle on the grass
theres a shell of every passing face
summers antihistimania
when hundreds think they hit the apex
my mama said every day is flipping pages
while others can be quick to gauge
in the way rooms hades in the hay, lady in the lake
tombs states take me any place
swallowed by the earth
swallows round my birth
feigning all the way
follow as a bird
drape me in the loot
take me as a herd
take me any place
hazy in the eyes
wait and stay alive
from soles to sky
dart and part ways
yours as mine
from toes to the eyes
gardens are fake
so am i
torn in
forged in. sessa - heaven
branches on the dormant back like gomez and morticia netted
the west. i'm etched to red spectacles and crooked dresses
battle for tact. there's streched descent and attention
they; savage from fast abandon: sat na mat ste to you
peeps grab too many napkins and then throw away a few
lately whats been laid in the pace been nasal and spade with you
in the way room's hades in the hay, lady in the lake
tombs state take me any place
swallowed by the earth
swallows round my birth
feigning all the way
follow as a bird
drape me in the loot
take me as a herd
take me any place
hazy in the eyes
wait and stay alive
from sole to sky
dart and part ways
yours as mine
from toes to the eyes
gardens are fake
so am i
birds
they move quickly and easily startled
i'm sitting on my fingers and metacarpals
