"I wanna slipstream ice
Pity the proof
Smile fierce & kind"
Molly said
"I'm raising rackets high
I wanna lose
Count it as a find"
(Breaking tiles in empty rooms)
Trying to get down to the metamorphic core of it
(Floating slack in tidal pools)
Trying to get down to the metaphoric war of it
(Making titles into tombs)
Trying to get down to the sophomoric chore of it
Trying to get down — trying to get
Trying to get down — trying to get
Trying to get down

"I'm born anew, drifting
I'm gonna choose
To lean the howlin' wind"
Katie said
"We're not through molting
Go cocoon
And start again"
(Breaking tiles in empty rooms)
Trying to get down to the enigmatic part of it
(Floating slack in tidal pools)
Trying to get down to the hemorrhagic art of it
(Making titles into tombs)
Trying to get down to the aromatic heart of it
Trying to get down — trying to get
Trying to get down — trying to get
Trying to get down
Meri said
"I wanna slipstream ice
Pity the proof
Smile fierce & kind"
