On Someone Else's Neck

Peeled the veins right off my heart
And knit you a red scarf
Said, "Wear it round your neck at night
I know you hate the cold"

I'm reaching out and reaching in
Wincing at the raw skin
I wish someone had warned me then
"Your blood is meaningless
on someone else's neck"

For now
I'll lean into the wind
Let it riffle through
Who I have been

Let it find me out, call me in
Teach me ownership of my skin
Basic courtesy to my body
To the red pulsing inside me

Let it find me out, call me in
Teach me ownership of my skin
Basic courtesy to my body
To the red pulsing inside me

I'm reaching out, reaching in
And I'm fingering the raw skin
I wish someone had warned me then
"Your blood is meaningless
On someone else's neck"
