Decade

from Fossil of Girl by Sarah Donner

lyrics

You wrote up on survival and the best way to run
You fell upon your own sword to show off all the blood
And no one else can carry you away
No one else can make a better day but you

I’m turning on a decade and waking in a sweat
I see the bed that I made and the mess I made of it
And no one else can carry me away
No one else can make a better day but me

I don’t see well through the grey
You are reading books again
I should hold my tongue
You don’t know what you’ve done

I’ve nightmares on my shoulders but I don’t need your help
Because I am the oldest I can do it by myself
And no one else can carry me away
No one else

The preaching and the polling, emails laced with politics
If Jesus had the Internet, he wouldn’t forward me that shit
And no one else could carry him away
No one else could make a better day

Gone like gospel truths we wrote on
Cardboard in the rain
Impressive rhetoric we stick on
Things we cannot save
So scratch your name on something sacred
See how long it lasts
Years will pass, and time erases
Memory I have

I don’t see well through the grey
You are reading books again
I should hold my tongue
You don’t know what you’ve done
