lyrics

you will begin to appreciate it as a constant,
the mucous that resides in your lungs
and these lungs are the worst but at least they're consistent
in the air that they're failing to pump
breathe in breathe out breathe up breathe down
anything's gotta work better than this
than waking up and coughing and not falling asleep
until the next night hits

and this body of mine does not belong to me
it's on loan from somewhere far away
i leave through my head, come back through my stomach
not detached enough to run away
i shrink, i swell, i wheeze and i whine
hang every limb out to dry
uncertain of my form but with no other options
than the vessel that i occupy

i'll cut off my legs and shave off my hair
and remove every inch of my spine
a poetry cliche about clawing off my skin
until it grows back less confined

you will begin to appreciate it as a constant
the way that it erupts from your throat
a plead to exit this dumping ground
with every passing note
breathe in breathe out breathe up breathe down
anything's gotta work better than this
than waking up and coughing and not falling asleep
until the next night hits
