Scraping Air

Calmly, slowly

Breaking open

Spilling out

Wouldn't you scrape the air?

Wouldn't you think to care?

You'd think I'd learn by now

In dreams I'm finding out

Pretty soon I'll

Care enough to

File down

The memories that stick up like little pieces of hell

I'm doing well I swear I'm faking this new frown

Biting down until the rough

Shines crystalline with love

You'd think I'd learn by now

You won't be my way out

Calmly, slowly

Fairly partial

To the crowd

If you want to make me feel you'll have to mend my heart

With every move you make I split myself in two

Staring at the wall

I bottled and sold myself

So I'd have no one else to lose

A miracle displayed and

Scored on the fingers of a

Hand that can no longer move

And move

And move

I'm so tired

Oh, my favorite answer

To why it's so tough

For you I've bled

To why it's so tough

For you I've bled
