"nest"
I was told that I’d have one year
to be better
to breathe easier
I once thought you were my one great love
but it turns out you were just a shame
built a tower on the shore where I thought I could be safe from keeping score
but I only asked for more
built my nest up from the ground and in the trees I saw the branches break apart
looked like veins beneath my heart
I don’t want to stay here anymore
let’s move away next year
sleep by the lakes
I once thought it was a bitter pill
I was fed
but I bled out
what now?
built a tower on the shore where I thought I would be safe forevermore
but I fought a civil war
built my nest up from the ground and in the trees I saw the branches break apart
looked like veins beneath my heart
unlucky from the start
I guess it’s clear we were not meant to be here
we were not meant to be here
we’ll try again next year
