Object Permanence

I've got object permanence

I know exactly where you went

Too proud to prove you could pick up where I left

So you just start again

Please come back home to me

End all of my dog-whistling

You sing harmonies as my ears ring me to sleep

Oh no, it couldn't be

Please come and shake me when I'm talking in my sleep

My dreams have been so fucked and I don't know what it means

Where I can't touch the bottom and you drag me by my feet

So scared of getting scared

But I know what's underneath

Blue beyond belief

I am your baby bird

Catching every other word

You breathe life into a body washed ashore

And call it love

I'd run forever if they let me

When I lose my legs

Will you put me down?

Taxidermy versions of your dogs hung on the wall

Please come and shake me when I'm talking in my sleep

My dreams have been so fucked and I don't know what it means

Where I can't touch the bottom and you drag me by my feet

So scared of getting scared

But I know what's underneath

Blue beyond belief

I know what's underneath

Blue beyond belief

You're getting good at letting go at your own pace

I think I'll hold on until my fingers slip away

You can't really be as angry as that look upon your face

And on picture day

You wish you never came

Swore you'd never smile with teeth again

I'll stare at the sky until I catch it blink

I will see the good in everything
