Rats and Ribbons

Last time I came with a ruckus, and it feels fine
To stand by the window and steal all the signs
My mind

Last year I gave you my jacket
The pockets have holes
And I was pretending that I wasn't cold

Biting on lozenges, baby pink promises, I'll draw and you start the hack
If I didn't feel like a seal on the beach I could maybe be more of a catch

You write on square bits of paper
Baskerville scrawl
They help to remember which way to fall

Over the hill, you pick the spot
They don't suit the moon, but I like your socks
If I had a life that hadn't quite stopped
I'd work on a sub, and live in a rock

Tell me the one about when you got your nose broke
Or the one with ice cream with your Dad
Guess you've always kicked your shoe so high
I'll just come and get you

Biting on lozenges, baby pink promises, I'll draw and you start the hack
If I didn't feel like a seal on the beach I could maybe be more of a catch

You weren't supposed to hide, I haven't counted yet
When'd you get hard to find, can we break off the bet?
Maybe you found your friends, were they your fentanyl?
Maybe you caught your guise

There's not a song for me that sounds like anything
The static is on repeat, a muted shoestring
Ribbons around my feet what are they telling me?

I found a chewed up leash, a coed cannibal
You didn't have to file your teeth, you fucking animal
The Rats are inside my head, they like the dark and they're
Happy to be beautiful and die
