These awful things I feel at night
Settle in my bones to fossilize
My bed is too small, but I grow into
I grow into
Slowly
Slowly
When my heart starts beating fast
It’s echolocation—what’s bouncing back
An image I see that is burned into
It’s burning through
Slowly
Slowly
Slowly
Slowly
I cannot discern how time passes
I rely on beer bottles as hour glasses
I cannot name the type of sadness in your eyes
But I am trying so hard not to cry
Slowly
Slowly
The incarnations we’ve shed in this place
Unfold and stare each other in the face
There are more forms we can grow into
We’re growing too
Settle in my bones to fossilize
My bed is too small, but I grow into
I grow into
Slowly
Slowly
When my heart starts beating fast
It’s echolocation—what’s bouncing back
An image I see that is burned into
It’s burning through
Slowly
Slowly
Slowly
Slowly
I cannot discern how time passes
I rely on beer bottles as hour glasses
I cannot name the type of sadness in your eyes
But I am trying so hard not to cry
Slowly
Slowly
The incarnations we’ve shed in this place
Unfold and stare each other in the face
There are more forms we can grow into
We’re growing too
