This is the taste of static and copper
This is the silence after l've howled my name into your ribs
This is the weight of your hands shaking, your mouth full of glass
And your body drifting in the lake
My body is something else entirely
My body is wires and salt and a hundred tiny anchors
And all I need is for you to stitch me back together
I need movement
I need to hear the words that leave you breathless
Just barely hanging on
This city hears everything
The teeth just want teeth
The face just wants to shatter its own reflection
But listen —
I spent too long curled up inside a dead star
It took a while to claw my way back to the surface
Through the endless grey
I can feel it
This heart is waking up
High energy collapses into bone and breath
You can't divide infinity into even pieces
Stand back, l've taken the storm and I'm about to let it pour
