lyrics

With almost twice as much the patience under my belt than I used to own
Not long ago
With a much longer fuse between the trigger and the charge that’s set to blow
Before you know
Before I go

Still after all that
Last month I found
myself playing
Playing that old trick
Walk away, hope they’ll care

Maybe I’ve finally found a lead to follow down towards the shifty core
Where’s deeply sore
With words I borrow from much smarter people sharing all the work it takes
To patch the ache

Last week I caught
I Caught myself
By surprise and
Peeled the skin off my onion heart

Peel away peal away peal away another
Layer layer

With almost twice as much and twice as much and twice as much
Maybe I’ve finally I’ve finally have found a lead I’ve found a lead

Scraps fall to the floor
I leave them a day or two
From a safe distance
I try to forgive them
Scraps to the compost
To mulch into my past
And turn me into something less off
