Weave

With ticking womb of wedlock
Soaking blood through a dogwood lung
The unhinged cull of oxygen
How have I been stuck here for so long?

Drained out a tunnel in an albatross
Now I’m haunted by the bird
Her hounds left tracks on my breath
Until I had no more air left

Selling out an old soul for sales
I am caught up in the guilt
Making a living off of drowning
Leaves me one step in the wrong
Have I been stuck here for so long?

With broken works on love loss
Collecting earth from ground alone
On my soft slide into torch songs
How have I been stuck here for so long?

Have I been stuck here for so long?
Have I been stuck here for so long?

The winding love of life lost
No longer haunted by the thought
That every mark I make on emeralds are now
One step in the wrong
One step in the wrong
One step in the wrong

I’m alright, it’s time I moved on
