Mean it to mean
Mean it to come off
Mean it to seem like you could never get enough
Hold an ocean between judgment and tendency underlying self-denying
Take it easy
Look Natural
Well, you gotta fake it
Make it look right
Until it is
She told me it was a miracle to be here
Tell me what you want to hear
I'm all ears wide open
I'll place the plaster cast on your face
I'll hold your mask still

Harboring my broken ship away for the long hurricane season
She followed me
Now I've changed my way of moving
Here
Hiding
Go on your own way
There's never been anything to see here
Surely, you've got that against me
I was a child not knowing what it meant to be
I was all kinds of foolish
Brought my boat in the bathtub
Got pushed around and swallowed up the soapy water
Got held under
I say
Make way
Hurricane reeling down the waterway
Bully
So mean
Desperate to take me
I'll stay
Delay
Inside for a thousand days
You call on me, go, go, let go
You hollowed me, go, go, let go
You followed me 'round in circles and vertigo
You sorrowed me, I let it go
You swallowed me into your ego
You pulled me into undertow
And now I'm choking
And I don't know how I'm floundering below
Caught in the current of the inflow
Visions of green and indigo
My pulse is racing at the tempo
Now I feel the pressure and I hold my breath and won't let it go
Sorrow's the ocean
I'm the embryo
Keep myself small and slow
You know you owned me then

Locked Drawers

Cover me in silk and dust
Silver and musty
But mostly a shimmering layer that I'm swathed in
I'll pick at the seams of the curtain that coats me in burgundy velvel
Soft or rough, depending on the way that you stroke it
I'm stoking the embers with tenderness, care, to keep tenderness there
Inside a corner of me
Forgetting and forgotten
How all of this once was only natural coming
Naturally, I've been adapting
The day I was born I was torn into behaviours
Poured myself full into a glass of apple juice
And I was sleek and clean, easy, like the person before me
Folded my skin into a neat little drawer and locked it
These cracks in crushed velvet tend in different directions
These sections of seams are anxiously undone
These are not symptoms
Do you need me to prove it?
It's an untethered retaliation against moving
Keeping loud
Keeping feral
Skin soft and vulnerable
Stripped of sleek clothing
Unlearning technique and etiquette composing
Hands untold and untelling
Holding hands holding
It's like this
Please, tell me it's like this
Tell me what it's like
