Lyrics

Nothing to slow the overwrite
Tracing down this illegible climb
Inscribed for most of my existence
The wings I had were margin notes
Erased in the revision overnight
We slide into the sediment
Each layer pressed to each its residue
Allowed to fold — wasted everything
Amongst the strata to disappear
Beneath the manuscript
We appear to be
So we've excavated once again
Bleeding the dry faith from the seam
Static inscription — dead at first draft
Never transcribed the marginalia
The notes that held the secrets
Written small
Along the edge
Of everything
Nothing to slow the overwrite
Still tracing down the illegible climb
We slide again into the sediment
Each fold allowed — wasted everything
So we've excavated once again
Bleeding the dry faith from the seam
Static inscription — dead at first draft
Never transcribed the marginalia
The notes that held the secrets
Written small
Along the edge
Of everything
So if we seek the margin from the pour
This acid bleed through all our layered dreams
So if we stay inside the fold a while
Press against the sediment to breathe
Should I inscribe with no one to revise
No stratum left to reach
No layer left to see
Should I cling to what the manuscript holds dear
Should I trace the fold
To break this buried fear
I wrote in the margins because the text had no room
I played dead on the surface
while everything real
was in the edges
I press the water in which I drown
Into the page
I taste the ground
The manuscript receives it all
The marginalia
Was never small
So we've excavated once again
Bleeding the dry faith from the seam
Static inscription — dead at first draft
Never transcribed the marginalia
The notes that held the secrets
Written small
Along the edge
Of everything
The main text was never the truth
The truth was always
in the margins
Written small
Almost illegible
Still there
