So this is how we lay now Like dogs in the heat Bleeding between legs and mouths No longer pushing at loose teeth Flat on our stomachs Pooled with heat Swollen flesh and broken bones Where our hands used to meet Waiting and quiet Shaved heads, soft fingernails Tugging at the dead skin below us As our faces go pale So this is how we lay now So this is how we lay now So this is how we lay now So this is how we lay now Moving between whispers Tiptoeing around the cold tile Rolled eyes, no longer meeting in flame A momentary disposition Named the cat on our tongues Losing time between train tracks and asphalt An old, hot feeling of comfort Scraped away by jagged fingers I wish your mother had never seen my face So this is how we lay now So this is how we lay now So this is how we lay now So this is how we lay now Swollen animals being picked apart by Patient vultures and greedy lies Waiting for something to start again Waiting for something to start again So this is how we lay now So this is how we lay now So this is how we lay now So this is how we lay now So this is how we lay now So this is how we lay now
