1.
Red sun. Empty my arms out in the canyon. Would I be happy just to leave it all? Could I be opened like an old fault? I'd give it a rest if I were me. I'd sell out my eyelids to get some sleep. All along I was an ocean made of only salt. I resolved to keep my neck stiff, So I could stare at the way you sound. We invent. We insist.
2.
Get off of it. I can't stay awake for long. Keep my head under your thumb. I get awful, I know I get awful. But it's awful here. I stayed set. I pulled my arms off like an insect. I shed my conscience like a shed skin. I threw my arms into the orbit. I made my bed inside a lion's den. Stay still. Keep your head on the sill.
3.
I left my head in sparks, Out on the bed. I was a ghost, in honor of When the curtains closed and the air had all gone home I was left in, wandering. I built a life on a ledge. Tearing my conscience out, And beating it to death. When the ink sets in, I will have shed my skin I get restless.
4.
For a while my heart was set On the wrong side of the bed I buried every single song I met, Regardless of its content. I moved on to better things. Like broken bells and crooked swings. But I gave up when I sang, "It's just the way my head gets lodged in the throne. It's just the way I'll fall in love with anyone. " I imagine all these small souls Moving on the better things Like growing old, moving somewhere And falling more in love than me. But I was convinced my lungs could blow them away. I was convinced that I would just stay the same.
