Sediment - Say Anything

The smell of your body

Is making me heave and gag

I thought you were candy

Just like your nature, my good man

So now you can’t leave me

Just like the rest of them did

As we sink into the East Bay, Brooklyn dirge

Thank God I’m done with this

Now we are the sediment

Now we are the sediment

Now we are the sediment

Now we are the sediment

So go ask your Chomskies

What these systems produce

The cracks in commandments

That we can slip through

You develop a callus

When you’re being lied to

But now my pain is all just gravy

As you drown beneath the waves with me and sing

Now we are the sediment

Now we are the sediment

Now we are the sediment

Now we are the sediment

Sediment

I wake up with a humming glow of a hundred Percocets

I have the arms of a baby, veins of an old lady

My vision is runny and profound

There’s a still lake we sit behind

You turn to me and ask if I’d like you to stay

That we can anything here

I say «I should have dissolved in you, but I made us statistics

They can write us off, but I don’t fucking deserve you»

You look confused, but after a very awkward pause

You kiss my cheek and then walk off

Left alone now, I start to age backwards

And I’m viciously hungering for someone

To love me the way my parents never did

There must be someone who can somewhere

Maybe I’ll take a walk and see, after all it’s so big

It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on
