I am stuck and I am still
Teach my lips to move
I'll bend and break at your will
Take me down
I can't tell who's a liar

Sow my sins in the garden
I know they'll grow if I watch them
Something tangible to tame the top tiers and the criers

You repeat offender
See if I believe
See if I fall asleep in the street on the way over

And we've had this conversation before
I keep you on a lie detector leash
And the phone line screams
But we'll never get closer

Thirty minutes in a door jam
Oh you make me a fool
Landline in my hands
And my eyes like saline solution

I determine our value
Check the pearl with my teeth
Buy it like business, baby
Treat it like Wall Street
While you're using

And I built a house in my brain
With a porch and a gas stove
The ceilings have blue paint
So the haunters won't be tempted to go
Or stay late
There's a curfew in my brain

"The origins and ends of things"
How long will this thread reach?
Can you just pick me up and fill me in again
On every forgotten conviction?

And I said, "Significance lasts though my heart runs like a river
It means way too little to me now," but here I am
You're my pen's favorite ink impression

You repeat offender
I swear, I hear your laugh release from my lungs
How long was it rotting there?

And I think you're chemical
Every time you breathe
You burn me up, break me down
Callousing my throat as we speak
Caustic in my teeth
And in the air

You said I was your water before
But baby I'm not drunk
Maybe I've just woken up
And answered your call at the wrong door
