lyrics

I was the smile of the lawn
My shadow swinging low in the hammock that my brother bought
Staring at the dog inside the Moon
Thinking about killing it and leaving soon
 
The visions started when I stopped drinking this winter passed
Now when I try to feel I feel I fail and bruise my ass
Take me to the ones who claim
That they can hold an unborn day
I read it, but I still can’t see How a Person Should Be
 
February came and left me heavier than January
I have only spent myself this year
It was Spring when I saw Sheila at the Banya out in Mississauga
Still had questions thicker than the steam that brought us there
Questions burning stronger than that eucalyptus air
Questions about curtains that had not always been there
Questions that I question why I question until I’m scared
