about

About the slow final dawning of realization that your love is a hopeless alcoholic.

lyrics

You fall into my arms like a landslide,
like a mile-wide crumble.
Take my humble advice, be a mountain.

Streamlined willow arms can hold a heavy load:
a wheelbarrow, a tractor pull, a semi full of shame.

Breathe in, breathe in, feels like dreaming, feel it.

A nocturnal animal, those sharp claws
climb the walls.
Domesticated feral raccoon in the city.

Oh you’re sweet as alcohol spilled on the bar
from last night's party celebrating and berating those who feed you.

All this sly and lone behaviour, waiting for the walls to cave in, in suspended animation.
Breathe in, breathe in, feels like dreaming, feel it.

If you need a spine, I don't use mine:
it's made of homemade wine, it's see-through
and it bends with time & pressure.

I don't need it, I don't need it.
Tap it with your teeth and bleed it.
Drain me like a sangria.

Breathe in, breathe in, feels like dreaming, feel it.
Breathe in, breathe in, sink my teeth in, feel it.
Breathe in, breathe in, feeling seamless, feel it.
Breathe in, breathe in, feel my weakness, squeeze it.
