Gristly Words

It's what stays that makes the escape worth

You grab the future as the past goes lost

We're celebrating what you called a fugue

I said l'd be following you

On board this merry-go-round

Spinning faster than the speed of sound

I saw your jaw bone at work

Chewing on some gristly words

But don't you know it girl

I wouldn't make you fall

You're so clearly shaped in this blur

But what you said couldn't tell for sure

I know you're getting deeper in the mood

You've got it written all over you

Before we started this war

Against the strongholds of our new-born-ghosts

I saw your methodical nose

Planning all the smallest moves
