Batter

I took my last breath

As the plane crashed

I don't even think that i got to

Let it out

And I don't know if you noticed

I don't know if you noticed yet

But there's a drought around these parts

There's no water in the well

The dry spell the dry spell

Don't let your demons

Take you to the cleaners

Fix your posture

While you call your mother

Draw a picture

It lasts longer

A body's sacred

When it's naked

So go ahead

And let it

Be a bible for another

Blood's your compass

Let it wander

May it stick thick like a slaughter

Halle

Halle

Hallelujah

Now I return to my first purpose,

A sharp breath exhaled beneath the surface

Where lungs collapse like demolition

And the pulse ceases to quicken

Til I become as sweet as nothing,

I am nothing now, just nothing now

I am nothing now nothing now nothing now nothing

I am nothing

From the plane I called your name

But it didn't matter

You were home baking a birthday cake

Cracking an egg

Into the batter

You had a little bit of batter, a little bit of batter

On your face
