lyrics

back when your chest was two white sweet potatoes

reaching round like the sleaze i am

always muted

i rubbed up against you like a dog till i pumped amnesia

staring up your crooked nose

you didn’t know about me but you were not moving

i didn’t know about me but apparently

i was

and after a pause the causes dissolved but is there anything left?

sea cleft further than my canyon chin

and the colours of your changing hair and your skin like nothing else i was ever near

hair there and everyweird

the purple grey small magic unbullyable nut aura you beefed around you

see how all i remember is what i saw and what i craved

maybe

you saved something more from then with your dancing pencil

see how all i remember is what i sow

and you planted a black turnip of doubt in my blue shirted work walk

and you asked me to destroy it but i never could

you don’t destroy a thing like that

your body a beerbubble

and your garden grows fruity noises

and now all i do is practice concentrating

try not to cling to how you sing try not to feel that

spinal spasm when you sing me unsprung

stringslut
and the little cower

expecting you’ll cut me

maybe it was fear before

now it’s less, an evolutionary mess, your guess i can’t even admit

to your new face
I could never answer you
From behind my clean masking by subtraction

All that’s left of then is my love of music

It’s all just too heavy
Shattered in the cold light of the tear jerking beer inflection
