lyrics

A ribbon of road wraps you up as a gift
Sanding the corners where I sit
Mashing the switches 'til something explodes,
Which is never the way to clear the load

The distance is not in the minutes and miles
The distance is in the failing wires
Tin can with string
Like a nervously sent but better connection
To the place where our heads touch ground.

Hawk tongue grew long by aiming deeper,
A bullet to bring about answers long known
But left in the ink and leaves to grow.

The ribbon is ripped, wire to cut me in half
Ligature, lift me by the heart
Tiptoe the trapdoor, I'm foetal and bare
Waiting for time to kick the chair out from under
