Subtle Body

Keep running with this
It's running through my fingers
Solid connection happening
Ten long years and this crooked smile still bare
Low vibrations shake the base of the ground
Soft monotony pulling me in like womb
So long, strange cool to get
Strict coil, long face, horse stepping around in the dirt
With morose fatigue I worked my way halfway through the body
'Til I hit the heart, it seeped black tar at the first bit of tooth
It's such a long road to get to this point, I thought
With this contaminated fluid like dry rot in the gums
The tooth had gone bad and so had you
The tooth had gone bad and so had you
They butterflied the muscles in my back
In order to give me wings
I never asked, I never asked to fly
Locked away in an old case
I always took the strange way
I always took the strange way
It never seemed strange to me
Strict coil, long face, horse stepping around in the dirt
With morose fatigue I worked my way halfway through the body
'Til I hit the heart, it seeped black tar at the first bit of tooth
It's such a long road to get to this point, I thought
How many ways could there have been
Or such ways I could have lied to myself
It's something I thought about, it's keeping dry
It's storms or in chords or beats or in time
Strokes of hands in air of homes
Reorder, redirect, stop biting, disenfect
Cold skin, implement warm feeling in the neck
You want a suitor
You want a chance to forget
Well I'm glad we met
I think I'd look nice in your lawn
You want a suitor
You want a chance to forget
Well I'm glad we met
I think I'd look nice in your lawn
The fixture cracks in moments
The foundation like the chin of some relic sculpture
The art turns into dust
You can take the time to cover me in vines
Hide me in the shack behind the house I grew up in 'till I'm ripe
