lyrics

scarred hands moving upwards
in tired desperation
at buttons and clasps
and that song that was playing just right
every note makes me feel insane

your hands dug out trash
too rough on my skin
the reason i let you in

we smelt so pretty
this perfect mix of country and city

and in your eyes i see screaming
reverberating
from every place that should be safe

and there's certain songs i write just for you
but they'll never be heard
a single word

they get caught somewhere between my teeth and my tongue
that same place that we would hold our breath
right before we'd come

they've all disappeared out over the ocean anyway
reflected only in opalescent shocks of silver and grey
in that place where you left me screaming to nothing but waves and sky
like a witch wounded and rejected surrounded by the smell of unknown fauna that remind me of a place i used to know
and i hear how my voice has changed to shivers and shakes
as i spit curses at the end of my world and wonder how i got that way
but these bloodied ears still hear your laugh the few times this past year it's been sincere
and the weight of my toes drifing through the water
was as deft as the flicking of your line
and i know we're still there somewhere moving in time
and i'll always go home
but you never will

wait

i used to know you

and the weight of my toes drifting through the water
was as deft as the flicking of your line
we're still there moving in time

and in your eyes i see screaming
reverberating
from every place that should be safe
and i
i used to know you
