i wish we'd stopped when i asked you to but our hands were heavy with alcohol / or just you. you said i smelled of whisky and desire and i didn't say anything you cared about / we swapped memories and in this version it's me, doing the pushing and pulling and cutting and we make up. we do this to ourselves / to our dogged hearts / 'til our tongues go red from screaming.
