bug bites up my back
but - but - but - but!
cry out!
doesn’t put the time out
cry out!
it doesn’t make the time die out

but - but - but - but!

saw you slipping up my spine
my sweet sorrow
salute yourself
you’re doing it right

but but but but but
a simple cry
is it good enough
we’ll work it out

chewed up consciousness
a bad choice
challenging cheer around a chest
full of real blood

but
so tired of
hey! Cry Out!

running raw
I’m out of breath
chasing backwards in time
we’ll break in our boots
can we be beautiful
- besides
the point?

just to
cry out
float on a deep sea
and know
we gave up a constellation

now
now
don’t scold

we have the afterglow
and it’s bruised purple

but but but but

cry out

I wish
