lyrics

present him thine rib that he might craft thee a lady
the price just isn’t right, this transaction looks shady to me
i myself have cracked a rib, see, doing somersaults on a trampoline
no godsend of a soulmate flowed from the marrow like a genie

but i remember how breathing hurt, how i buckled over
and that’s the start of the right track
adam, pops, that’s how you’ll feel her first

after i fell for this one
felt the ocean in my blood take a new tide
my fullness pulled, remagnetized
you’ll know it when your vessels threaten
retaliatory exsanguination
for resisting the ride
listen to your insides

might not have had a pelvis for weeks
in the pillow i find buried my teeth, i breathe
by mysterious means, found my lungs clung, heaving
around his name written clumsily in ink

let’s not pretend he’s ever seen me with a head
even once situated in each other’s arms i’m braindead
it’s a state of being, it’s me, hello
with open arms, i’m beating, exposed
already pulled all the ribs apart
all i know how to do is show off my pretty blue heart

after i fell for this one
felt a fire in the space behind my eyes
shrieking phoenix, life revised
you’ll know it when your muscles hasten
to make a swift and shredding exit
to take to the skies
the old self dies

adam
think we must confront a disturbing fallacy
that the substance of our being isn’t currency
though i empathize for wanting to give viscerally
the people we love might possibly
need more from us than hurting
there might be more to love than hurting
