lyrics

try and stay awake these highways are for wounded deer with white hides and limp legs burning vessels drenched in fuel wear your brightest gown the forests are for hunters sons blessed with gaping mouths and hearts weighted with diving bells and the shots they sang and the does they ran and you bit your tongue and left with spotless hands wash the sap from your ears old voices crackle through the radio drink some of this my dear it’ll warm your cold toes and i know its hard to breathe but this brackish lakes for settling in sink your dresser and weight your bed with heavy stones and sediment and i loved you still despite the salt and loam that tucked you in and caked your bones i can’t keep you from seeping in
