lyrics

I took the crosses from my hands and made the lines sit parallel.
I turned our trees into coffin nails and placed my head up on a shelf.
All the while the blues put me to sleep when my body wouldn't let me as I spent the month of February pulling at the seams. Still you reached into my mouth and wrapped your fingers around my tongue. I tried every word I knew but you managed to hang on. Somehow I'd become a gospel, the only book you'd ever read. I tied a noose around your neck but you just called it a lead.

And so the pavement outside my house that was haunted by our ghost is now paved with skins, half-smoked, next to the bones that shed their clothes.
