Blue Nitrile Touch

callous man
reach out to them
with both gloved hands
you failed again
touch to feel
it's lost on you
a layer to peel
for another fool

i can't take these burdens
but what i can do
i do behind
closed
doors
you wont even know it
it
won't
fall on someone's conscience

(rubber hands)
to spare me the shame
(intimate dance)
with shards and all my veins
(rubber hands)
keep clean the wounds i make
(make your plans)
to reach out with blue nitrile

touch me yearning
my plastic ego
three stars burning
outside my window
speaking slowly (i see a red light)
this fragile process (in the corner)
wishful thinking (the cameras on)
with most keen objects (let's give em a show)

what makes you so special?
the hospital stay or the breeze in your bedroom?
to spare me the shame
with shards and all my—
(rubber hands)
keep clean the wounds i make
(make your plans)
you get an urge just to choke it back down
(never meant)
to see you this way
(bottomless pit)
to distance from the rain
(making sense)
of all the things i say
(love will mend)
all i've done with blue nitrile touch
i reach out with blue nitrile touch

blue nitrile touch
