Crooked Backbone But courage is her home Malls overwhelm her But she is flexible She don't speak existential But she's a monk with advice Tells a story Eighth grade sleepover Girls kick and laugh So she cries in the bathroom They won't let me on the bed They won't let me on the bed Doesn't want To catch her mother's cold So she hangs pink shudders round her room Then the sun When the windows have been sewn She's put back in mother's womb Regrets insecurities of youth I quote her words back to her Security is not easy There's nothing you have to be sorry for You are what we all wished we were You are what we all wished we were Miles overwhelm her She can't take it no more She wants me to be next to her She'll give me my favorite side Every morning My little screen rings It cannot hold what is larger than life It won't let me in the bed It won't let me in the bed I don't mean to bother Could you bring some water To my bedside? She will bring the ocean I think it's an omen But she'll apologize That it sips salty sometimes Made her replace me With the love she has to learn About the world and how it burns I mean, yea, I like it too But I wonder if we never were apart Would she still have the heart To be smarter since I can't let her leave the bed I can't let her leave the bed I just want to be lazy I just want to be lazy next to you I just want to be Next to you
