Repine |
| How’s it stand? |
| What are we? |
| Let that sand flush my cheeks, |
| wear me out, |
| keep me clean, |
| keep me longing, |
| keep that quiet company, |
| wear me out, |
| I heard a voice telling me, |
| like your smoke waving, |
| and my eyes repine, |
| wear me out |
| that wick wont burn away, |
| it’s giving uneven rings. |
| Wear me out, |
| like a sister haunting absence, |
| like a sister who’s finally had it, |
| like a room left open just for being kept, |
| like some lonely facet, |
| like the promise of a place and knowing you’re neither here nor there, |
| wear me out, |
| and the tree tops like crooked beliefs, |
| cross hatch crows feet reaching for the Baltimore heat, |
| and I repine faster and faster now, |
| your wick wont burn away. |
| What are we without regret? |
| What are we? |
| Wear me out. |
| What are we without that end? |
| Without that death? |
| That darkness? |
| Wear me out. |
| There’s so many parallels from then until now, |
| we try to believe, |
| we keep telling ourselves, |
| it’s a flaw that can’t be faked. |
| I heard a voice passing through, |
| and I know it’s never you, |
| and I know what I’m looking to find, |
| and I repine faster and faster now, |
| your wick won’t burn away. |
