All Printed Trash

Pick beneath your nails
Bite and eat your cuticles
The fraying ends of your skin
The scattered proof you're nervous
The purr gets louder every minute
It sizzles in your stomach
The fear I've felt this all before
You're tired of the tour
Of my stations of anxieties
Long silences and lost pieties
The world keeps turning

This hourglass we're living
Feels more like a desert when you're living in it

Standing in line for the train to the airport
I can only wonder what you're scared for
If I leave, I hope I can come back
That there is no permanent lack
Of love on account of choices

This hourglass we're living
Feels more like a desert when you're living in it
This hourglass we're living
Feels more like a desert when you're living in it

I don't want to feel consequence
We don't have any kids
We only share a few friends
And I can afford to lose them
And then maybe my hands can get handsome again
And I can tame my wild skin
And then these stubby fingers
Can write you a letter
A chicken-scratch story you've already told better.

Standing in line for the train to the airport
I can only wonder what you're scared for
If I leave, I hope I can come back
That there is no permanent lack
Of love on account of choices
I hope I can come back
I hope I can come back
I hope I can come back
I hope I can come back
