Drawing Blinds Instead of Blood

every song is a window
and for twenty years
i would break the glass

really get in there
y'know?

sometimes i'd cut my hands
or elbows climbing through
but the blood
made it real

pain made it real

i
miss
that

my nose is pressed up to the glass
tonight
and
it looks beautiful

i can hear the blood in my veins
screaming

it wants to be
let out

it pools in my fist
except where the knuckles are white

the blood is ready to dance
the blood is
always
ready to dance

but i don't want a mess
to clean up in the morning
so i turn the music off
for another night

and those first few seconds of quiet
are boring
and brutal
and sad

but i try to remind myself
the blood and i don't have
the moves we used to
