borders and statelines

by the number of punctures

this thing should be more deflated

but it's buoyant enough

for the both of us

on a darkening sea

gathered clouds and tired speech

a fair breeze should see us home

we won't

we won't let it

we move so fast

i can never keep up

in the wheeze and rasp

of this cowards lament

borders and statelines

will never define me

and this place i am

isn't where i wanna be

everything i create is basically tinder

and drier than kindling

i first bought to keep us warm

in that freezing house

with the mould on the walls

and broken glass on the floors

we move so fast

i can never keep up

in the wheeze and rasp

of this cowards lament

borders and statelines

will never define me

and this place i am

isn't where i wanna be

we move so fast

i can never keep up

in the wheeze and rasp

of this cowards lament

broken fingers and broken spirit

living from minute to minute

and his place i am

god damn

it owes me
