lyrics

Could cuss, could not, could count my caesuras
Bawling ballads, losing balance, but better off
Lost in books as I look for my catachresis
As if the words that I’m without are somehow a weakness

You stay close, tuck your clarion into your nape
Say: bibliophile, just stay a while, let’s lose our shape
I ask you straight if you can explain the etymology
Of words we use like familiar fruit to name our bodies

What word would I use if I had to choose just one to say
What word would I say if I had to explain this disarray
I’ve looked through each page to find your name
But it’s not in this text
Nor is mine, nor is theirs;
Not in any of the books I've read
We must make some repairs
Rewrite the words again
Rewrite the words again
A word means what it does until it doesn’t

A word is a warm blanket, a cobweb, a low sunset
A word is a worry, a warning, getting lost in a cul de sac
A word is unheard, a word is unlearned
It's living and it's loving and it's groping for warmth

So stay close, suck smoke
I know you’ve got some tenderness
Buried there, underneath
Like a word that doesn’t have meaning yet
So we sulk and avoid, bury all of our coins
And ask to be grown anew
But it’s hard to change, it’s so hard to change
It’s so hard to change, will you?
