“Abue:”

 

My little cube of rhythm
Gliding light of sound
Attitude with jet black hair
You
My baby
My love 
My                                           time machine

You delicious smoothie of
Lipstick                       and hoops

Are you a little bird now ?
They keep coming by the window 

There gOes my baby / she is trying Death On

            i’M Sorry, I should lower my tone    

This isn’t part of the song but you need to know: her boobs were fake

The way people lay in their beds is the exACT way they will lay in their coffins
did you know ?

That bitch was made of steel 
I cannot believe                  life                   took her                     the way it did

I was in a Fall Out Boy sweatshirt when I opened her coffin

AND THE PRIEST CRIED OUT 

hey !                we don’t do that herE ! 
but Priest ? this is MY BITCH ! 

I gave my grandmother back to the place that makes knots in my throat
I’d slit my feet open each morning on glass
The drunks would hang out at the school playground at night

I bled everywhere I walked for 6 years
My grandmother bandaged my feet      With words like                      show me where you stepped           

And go out at dusk, when the moon came out    With her sharpest heel and  see          target               shoot                        with  Aim so seasoned  
it knew exactly where to go
Her name meant daybreak / The first appearance of light in the sky before the sun
she taught me to be fearless like thAT

She said, 
I was not allowed to tell her I loved her
so I slept next to her every night instead

My grandmother begged me to kill her everyday
to open a window and push her out

I am still trying to figure out how
