nightjars - natural history lyrics

Loading...

things i burned that
could still come back:
a million tons of broken glass

what didn’t hurt
that i still burned:
half a language dying in the dirt

tabulate it:
everything i saved
everything i didn’t give away

stratify it:
devastating loss

everything i ate
all the people that i loved and i betrayed
will be
a natural history –

but none of that was me

lunch at big creek
we won’t speak
three days and then five days again next week
white sage, burnt brush
calls i tried to make when you couldn’t talk –
i might die, but they’ll never dig that up

don’t you touch that
don’t you touch my grave
or anything i didn’t give away

you can have it
please just takе it all

everything i wore
all the lеtters that i wrote and i ignored
will be
a natural history

i said it wasn’t me

got home late and wrote down what i thought
laid my bones in sediment to rot

felt it like another pleistocene:

i thought i knew it once –
well, it burned me in the back and now it’s gone
a layer in the sea
a natural history
are you missing me?
