lyrics

The Thought of sleeping
the thought of sleeping on this ground makes me sick
the thought of crouching low and clutching my ribs
the thought of hoping
the thought of hoping that the rain wouldnt come
wetness pervasive to the tip of my thumb
the thought of reaching
the thought of reaching for the cardboard to feel
less of my ear against the edge of the rail
the thought of burning
the thought of burning up the streamers that wind
between the potholes and the liters of wine

we might be something left behind, we might be something left behind
eyelash lifted from cigarette ashes (X4)
bathroom sketches and phantom habits

the thought of sleeping sleeping in this bed makes me sick
i just roll over and i cover my lips
the thought of hoping
the thought of hoping for the footsteps return
rotating doorknob and lowering skirt
the thought of reaching
the thought of reaching for the pile of clothes
heavy like nothing that i’ve lifted before
the thought of burning
the thought of burning not a moment’s regret
teenagers fantasies my best pleasure yet
