Taxiderme |
| Three brown chairs and a yellow bookcase |
| The fridge-light shines off the mantle-piece |
| Carpet squares under our feet |
| Keep us related while we sleep |
| Old silhouettes slaughtered encased in glass |
| Brief looks hold hands in a hallway dance |
| Notes ring out from a ghost ship band |
| These nights take so much longer to understand |
| Since you thought you had this beat |
| Since you carved off all the meat |
| Have I been the silhouette you look for |
| In your street |
| And you |
| You’re still smiling |
| Cause I haven’t told you yet |
| You’re brandishing those eyes |
| And I can taste my breath |
| Wondering how |
| The hell I’m going to say this |
| And I can’t believe I hear |
| Please cut out these foreign words |
| Patch them up and make things work |
| Surely we aren’t victims now of taxiderme work |
| Cause this was not laid out in plans |
| This is not all we had |
| Have I been the silhouette you looked for |
| In your head |
| And my favourite everything of you |
| Are the things that seem least like you do |
| And you |
| You’re still smiling |
| Cause I haven’t told you yet |
| You’re brandishing those eyes |
| And I can taste my breath |
| Wondering how |
| The hell I’m going to say this |
| And I can’t believe I hear |
| I’m going to miss you |
| My best friend |
| And I wish you were here |
