lyrics

a sweettasting floss made of air
wound its way across my tongue and
between my teeth,
down my throat to where I breathe

dissecting people as fast as possible
but not fast enough
your name, ordinary before
your name, ordinary before

mouth clamped shut, words escaping from every pore
I'm screaming in a whisper under everything I do
would you prefer to be hollow, or filled with lead?

you never existed, neither did the rest of them
should have answered yes when asked if I hallucinate
your name, ordinary before
your name, ordinary before

worship the rope
how does it feel in your hands? how does it move through the air?
how does its change when it's bound in knots?
there's less to move. it becomes sharper. more rigid, more certain.
solid and swinging. tight and bound. teetering amongst nature.
mothers and mother are looking out for me.
