You left us in the sun On a beach covered with snow Frozen motionless waves Bereft and the creasing stomachache glows
Stuck in a pool in the middle of us Silent and stale in the heat She isn't afraid of the lumps on her chest And she isn't afraid to tell us this is it
Her hair started again on her head But damaged under the fluorescent lights If she's in the kitchen as the last time I saw her The hell is in town and in the sights that I've seen
My mouth's burnt and sour and sore And my skin is stretched into a smile Sullen are my words and soft are my thoughts So frail, so fraught, entirely on the ground.
