Lyrics
Akimbo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
what dreams cause me
to abandon my pillow each night?
push away each of them, in fact
since there always seem to be more than one
then wake to aching stiff neck twisted
tits and face smashed against the mattress
legs and arms akimbo
like the high pitched body of a jumper
waiting for her chalk outline
finally at rest
