baby skull tumble

she called me etherial, i call myself earthy
plain and simple she stole my quips
and im left here sullen in a golden steeple
trying not to fall off a ledge onto people

where the fish lay, where i am meant to be
no snooze button to ever awake me
lying next to you gave me nothing but the shakes
until i wokeup with bruises and a fresh headache

im a coward in my own rights, so wont you hold me
wont you bind yourself into me
like a filling in a cavity

ive been brainwashed to dump
when the tension gets tighter
and ive been told to hide
when the lights outside get brighter

ive changed every line to forget about the last
and the sinking in my stomach like a stone to early cast
this backwards saunter leaves me with boody toes
asking you how you know where she goes

If you are singing in a shower
when the moon strikes a pose and you lose your clothes
will i be crying in a tub of rose petals and wine
killed by somone who knew it was my time

im unwound and out of control
hair tied back lights out for a stroll
carry me way to the west
where i can carry your baby and you can carry the rest
