feel of my hand it's cold... cut from the same cloth as my heart! teardrops that freeze, not fall if only given a mitten I may survive this winter yet no one answers my meowing or scratching I nudge the front door open I climb inside to find nothing but an emptiness so sharp and pale like stabbing pains under the skin forever I will be alone in this lifetime pavement like a pavilion bursting into insects ajarred wings arise out pyramids of scales I'm scared at the thought that like a lunar eclipse you're still there ready to bring warmth to my hand to bring life back to my flesh I'm not ready to grow out of being a corpse I'm not ready to live again I hate it I pull hairclips out my hair I reflect my cowlick resumes in frustration I cut at it with rusty safety scissors it folds but it does not cut, does not cut the freckles on the bridge of our noses dance, our noses dance all these memories after our first kiss your precious sleep deprived smile was so cute and perfect the blueness of the sky the purity of the water the memories, the memories feel of my hand it's cold cut from the same cloth as my heart encircle your fingertips along the perforated edges of a rusty tomato soup can seeing red where there should be none encircle your fingertips encircle your heart... I will!

lyrics:
feel of my hand
it's cold...
cut from the same cloth as my heart!
teardrops that freeze, not fall
if only given a mitten I may survive this winter
yet no one answers my meowing or scratching
I nudge the front door open
I climb inside to find nothing
but an emptiness so sharp and pale
like stabbing pains under the skin
forever I will be alone
in this lifetime pavement like a pavilion
bursting into insects
ajarred wings arise out pyramids of scales
I'm scared at the thought that like a lunar eclipse you're still there
ready to bring warmth to my hand
to bring life back to my flesh
I'm not ready to grow out of being a corpse
I'm not ready to live again

I hate it
I pull hairclips out my hair
I reflect
my cowlick resumes
in frustration I cut at it with rusty safety scissors
it folds but it does not cut, does not cut
the freckles on the bridge of our noses dance, our noses dance

all these memories
after our first kiss
your precious sleep deprived smile
was so cute and perfect
the blueness of the sky
the purity of the water
the memories, the memories

feel of my hand
it's cold
cut from the same cloth as my heart
encircle your fingertips along the perforated edges of a rusty tomato soup can
seeing red where there should be none
encircle your fingertips
encircle your heart... I will!
