Insect Loop

(album: Two Ribbons - 2022)

'Cause I'm a liar
Why do we both have to sit and absorb this ordinary pain?
Fight to over-compensate the distance
And how did it get to the point where it's not an ordinary pain?
Small enough to change

You never noticed
Dunk my head in the bathtub and scream underwater
'Cause maybe I thought you didn't care
Now the floor has turned to glass
And I walk around on tip-toe
Tryna brush it away and go places with sunshine and faces
But I can play pretend, and usually we'd do this together, well

Winters set
Snow cubs
Tryna be wrapping my arms around of your head
To find my friend
It is alright, why don't we both get back into bed?
And at the moment
There is no room
To understand each other's truths

Have we lost sight of the same light?
Blood is all that you can see when you've been pulled apart two ways
When these waters run too deep it makes the surface hard to break
Blood is only what you need when you've been pulled apart two ways
Pulled apart two ways

The tide has fallen
Why don't we sit by the water and watch our drawings wash away?
Just the friends we are today

And know that that's enough
And nothing could seem more important as that
We'll haunt these Norfolk bays
Weaving like the waves
