lyrics

Giveaway/an open end. I said too much this time. Start again. I said enough this time. Start again.

It’s in your mother’s eyes. It’s at your father’s table. I want to lift you up. I want to tear away from. It’s in your childhood bed, under the winter roses. We let the wolf inside; we left the door wide open. And are the children home? Are the curtains smoking? I am an empty glass. I never left the ocean.

But I am new somehow. I’m not the one who stayed. And you’re the one who wins, but I don’t have to play. So you can gut my room, or you can save my place. I’m sick of feeling bad for someone else’s shame. And if I speak your name, then that’s the choice I made. And if I never say—
