lyrics

I shucked off my skin and I left it tangled in brushes
It's slack and it's limp
It's shoulder's slumped down
Into submission

My vessel separated from the folds
of myself
The down, trickling sounds
of all the voices coming out
I am hollow now

For every child left alone with every worrisome thought
Too afraid to move
from the bedroom to the kitchen
On pins and needles
on broken glass
I am walking
I hold my breath
I try to drown out the sounds
crashing and ringing

In my defense
It's easier to hide
Let's pretend like
I don't exist
I am shut and I want to be open
but the deeper I dig
the harder the ground is

Cut me loose and I'll disappear
spit my brain onto paper
A well springs up at midnight
My resolve is found in darkness

I shucked off my skin and I left it tangled in brushes
It's slack and it's limp
It's shoulder's slumped down
Into submission

My vessel separated from the folds
of myself
The down, trickling sounds
of all the voices coming out
I am hollow now

Kittiwake

Kittiwakes are coastal breeding birds ranging in the North Pacific, North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. The black-legged kittiwake is often known simply as kittiwake. The name is derived from the birds call, a song 'kittee-wa-ake, kittee-wa-ake'. Colonies can be found throughout the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands to southeast Alaska. In the winter, the range extends further south and out to sea. ... more
