lyrics

I still recall what your mother said.
She spoke like broken glass,
Just like a wounded animal.

We snuck out to watch the meteor shower,
so young and scared to touch.
My skin unmarked by years of angry sun
and all the damage still left to be done.
I kept it locked up for so long,
now my thighs are made of steel
while my spine remains a loose stack of
river stones.

We snuck out to get a little bit closer
So eager and filled with want
You told me you felt followed by a darkness
you couldn't seem to shake.
It hunted your scent, like a pack of
wild dogs.
It called out your name through the trees so
desperately

I walked you home
I should have known.

Despite all my dreams of waking up early and having clean skin,
I'll still come home drunk and fall asleep in the bath again.
Despite all my fears that I'm holding on to the end of a fraying thread,
I know I'm gonna have to let go
