james lanning - drabdrabdrab lyrics
verse 1
poison the bird bath and empty the tackle box
the water’s been stirred black, the bog is too deep to frost
drab as moths light pivots in through the blinds
thin as twine, crooked, and rigid as a spine
a neon sign glares right down the foot of my bed
pulsing red, pumping all through my roots and my head
it said the past is cemented as the future ahead
like you bought a used suit and new shoes for the dead
a spider+web on my face, the silhouette of a cigarette
are all that i remember when i fell from the swing set
and the ground stale sleep framed in a vignette
back, back again, and i don’t know what to bring yet
you said to match your veil and dress
arm extended, nails stretched like an arabesque
i woke up mud covered, dumb, frail and deaf
to the clench of wet sheets, cold, pale as breath
chorus
yea i hate it, but either ways let’s just wait and see
and they say other rooms are all taken, eight days a week
yea i’ll stay, see i don’t mind waiting for a vacancy
i’ve been thinking i made a mistake, but, it’s the same to me
verse 2
i wipe bile from my lips and roll over wet as minnesota
sweating through my shoulders, my face a manilla folder
i’m fading and slipping lower, too weighted to sit up, hold up
i’ll wait til i’m swimming sober. wading through sips of folgers
and bitter odors, i’m drifting slower out in colder water
i missed the boat or it didn’t show or maybe that’s the part of
the sh+t that i’ve twisted: thinking it existed
what feels like a different place is equally as distant, it’s liquid
and i can’t swallow it without vomiting and
i always try not to acknowledge it, keep it bottled, and hit the bottom then
skim across it for a couple of weeks
or a couple of months, like it matters as much, but
it’s self indulgent, it’s all dissolving, i see what’s left
sitting on my breath: the sh+t i didn’t ingest and
i’ve been prodding for a zipper on my neck
or a switch on my skull that when flipped then i disconnect
chorus
yea i hate it, but either ways let’s just wait and see
and they say other rooms are all taken, eight days a week
yea i’ll stay, see i don’t mind waiting for a vacancy
i’ve been thinking i made a mistake, but, it’s the same to me
