Lyrics

When I wake up, and I’m already circling ‘round

You’re like a taste in my mouth

And you won’t go away, and I can’t spit you out

Oh, with your weight on my brow like an ill-fitting crown

And I moth at the flame of that thing that I did or I didn’t say

Your warning, like a flash of teeth before the bite

The glint of white around the wide eye

The kiss of fear before the strike

The shadow in my line of sight, growing higher

But here’s the blow that seals the fight, here’s what’s real

I am more than this slow shaping of stones

From every low, every shame

You have nothing on—

You keep sewing my seams and pockets

Full of rocks and throwing me the blame

But you have nothing on me

You take the sound of my name

And whittle it down ‘til the sound is replaced

I have remembered it

You, always circling ‘round

My bed like a bird overhead and some prey it has found

I cannot outrun you, but your shadow gives me warning

You, your thousand reasons

Why I should just give on in and appease the feeling

That I am too little and I am too much

I should just be a little louder

I should just shut my mouth

I will always mess it up, be less, be found out

Be afraid, or steal the foreground

(None of which is real, or all of it, but it’s what’s now)

Here’s the blow that seals the fight, here’s what’s real

I am more than this slow shaping of stones

From every low and every shame

You have nothing on—

You keep sewing my seams and pockets

Full of rocks and throwing me the blame

But you have nothing on—

Do you know what I’m made of

Do you know what I’m made of

Didn’t you hear how I arrived

In the aftershocks, in the morning time

By the grace of my mother

I was born in the house we left

When the earth shook hard

And the walls were pulled apart

I am so much more than these missteps

Every word that I regret

Have you seen the way that I love

Have you seen the way that I’m loved

Haven’t you seen the strength that I came from

See me, born

Oh, with all that I’m made of

You have nothing on me

Here comes the wave, coming so slow

I can’t feel the change anymore

I see the wave, I know it will go the way it came

‘Cause you have nothing on me
