WoeBegonePod - Floating Upside Down

I caught
An absentminded gesture
I’m hauling up the net
This will be the fattest winter yet
I thought
That I was being sly
Now I know that you could see me
From the corner of your eye

We can never judge ourselves
Can we?

That ghost
Give it up
What are you
Some kind of animal?
They sewed these wings into your spine
They won’t hold up
Why won’t you learn?
Why won’t I? (x2)

Docile
An open invitation
To crumple and discard
Your newly minted parts
Tactile
Feeling in the dark
It’s such a simple pleasure
Knowing where you are
And you can feel my eyes on you
Can’t you?

That ghost
Give it up
What are you
Some kind of animal?
They sewed these wings into your spine
They won’t hold up
Why won’t you learn?
Why won’t I? (x2)

It’s such a brutish thing
If it were up to me
You’d never suffer visceral indignity
Floating upside down
Dredge the ocean if you want
See if anything willing to get caught

But we can’t salvage everything
Can we?

That ghost
Give it up
What are you
Some kind of animal?
They sewed these wings into your spine
They won’t hold up
Why won’t you learn?
Why won’t I? (x3)
