i took the scissors
and traced my veins
i took the scissors
and made my name
i keep them safe
away from prying eyes
in a place
no one will ever find

i look out for a river n
i close my eyes and dive in
like mum used to sing
and surely will again
tape is a fragile thing
flick the switch and back we spin

what is the thing
that never ends?
in the crawl space i found
bags upon bags
and it clicked
storage is always
out of sight
(but where are you?)

grass hard from frost blocks your ugly nose
a loose-woven basket holds your hollow show
i wasn’t ready for you to go
i couldn’t let myself lose control
i wrapped you up
i wandered up to the telephone
dialled some shit, i was a kid and i didn’t know
you walked in looking like death and drawn
asked if i knew where the seinfeld vhs had gone
hiding in a shell
there we were, on the grass
there we were, on the grass
vacuum sealed, built to last
vacuum sealed, built to last
when memories die
this is where they go
all sealed up in plastic
all sealed up in plastic
all sealed up in plastic
all sealed up

still birth
along those lines
a little girl
in a little girl’s eyes
inured by
the prurient
and scoured out
furious
while you’re alive
i'll be
watching gentle ben

i let myself lose control
that night i dreamt of buried things
and it made me scared
i saw you lying on the grass
i saw you lying in the past
i let myself lose control
that night i stayed up watching tv
i knew something they didn’t
i saw an old bony man
i saw an old bony man
and he leaned down to me
and he said right in my ear
“this is how it feels to lose everything
you love”

where did i get these scars on my head?
you told me they were birthmarks but that’s incorrect
time is the only thing that never ends
i want to know who gave you that benefit
take my family and friends
to neverland
i forget
i forget
i forget
i forget
i’ll never be the same again
