Braille 03:33
I listen to you speak My body gives nothing away My stride stays the same But a puncture the size of your words Is here in my chest A floodgate of breath Braille Bile The twist of a stomach A blue dye To show up the fault lines The old signs I listen to you speak The words lose their shape The streets lose their name And a river of tar Is filling your mouth Is drowning us out Braille Bile The twist of a stomach A blue dye To show up the fault lines The old signs

Would you find it strange If I touched your face With my winter hands Look how close we’re standing On this evening train Would it be fine if we stayed Where I can feel your warmth And my lungs expanding Oh God I’m terrified of landing Could it be There’s been a misunderstanding If I fell asleep Would I wake to familiar arms Lifting me out of this car Into a single bed Where the morning would clear my head Of all the things that I’d dreamt You are every man Made of concrete plans Full of walls and doors And sturdy ceilings I am sinking sand I am barren land I am quietly stranded I am barely breathing Could it be that these feelings Have been misleading If I fell asleep Would I wake to familiar arms lifting me out of this car Into a single bed Where the morning Would clear my head Of all the things that I’d dreamt If I touched your cheek Could you be the passage light Guiding my eyes in the night Til I drift away And the morning Could wake me up To tell me that she’d stay

To lay my head on a stranger’s chest An island of bones To make this ocean feel like home See I’ve been figuring out How much I’ve come to turn things down For fear of spilling out For fear of speaking much too loud To lay my dress on a stranger’s bed A blanket of skin To keep me warm To keep me in See I’ve been figuring out How much I’ve come to turn things down For fear of spilling out For fear of speaking much too loud Now my voice has fallen out Can you teach me how to shout Or dissolve me into sound Of the birds of the bees Of the murderous waves As she flees from the scene To the guiltless embrace Of the sand of the sea Now she’s all that she was meant to be I’m so afraid of what she’ll think of me That I can barely breathe And I can hardly speak And what if she can’t hear me If I never let her near me
