"Today" is such a deceptive word
For I spent all my days
grieving loud
I sang all my pain
so distressingly
Just to hush up any imploring shout
I couldn't speak
'cause the words I knew
Like rotten mushrooms dissolved
You came out of that
burring host of sounds
Brought me back
solid consonants and vowels
And now my skin is
so close-fitting
Keeps the line with all the rest,
since you came in
I used to dispel among the things
that people wanted me to do
I thought we got too familiar
To be lovers that
cherish the flame
All that we need
is attention
And I know I'll always give you the same
'Cause now my skin is so close-fitting
Blending with reality,
since you came in
Nothing ever moved me
like your patience
While you taught me how to choose
