Black Molasses

There it is again
Like an air pocket
A wink and a slap
But nothing kills momentum

We're all going to fall
From the rafters through the floor
And it won't stop there

Another twist and a crack
Until we breathe in the sweet
Forced air remembers our lies
And the curtains will cover our bones

Dream a little more
We'll line up the rest
6 in a row
Carved in tallow and regret

You won't see it coming
And that's how I like it best
Drink it down with the dust that doesn't settle on the sill

And still I would've been there
And still I should care
It'll all wash away like the Black Molasses

The weight never settles
It shimmys and it shakes
Pulls on the wire
With a nudge and a nod

And the timbers snap
Like brittle bones
We all knock back
We all knock back
A release
From the salt
Of the day
