songs for moms - in the west lyrics

i was born in the west
the fault lines they adorn my wrist and neck
you’ll never shake me my darling
i’ll never show you any of my breath
a mother lay down near the street lamps turned up on her like a crook
your father will drown here my darling if you don’t give him back the breath you took

and she’s taken on your ailments
traded time to k!ll
all your past with presents
i make my daddy ill

you’re in love with your city my darling
it’s filled with those you never thought you’d know
their babies they’re sleeping on subways their eyes aligned in salty little rows
and my bed built on pigeon nest stilts
i close my eyes and wish that you were here
but the ringing’s so loud ’round my shoulders
and you find f+cked up ways inside my ears

and she’s taken on your ailments
traded time to k!ll
all your past with presents
i make my daddy ill

and the laziest men in your city make catcalls of the benches they forsook
i run my eyes round your shoulders and try to transcribe letters of your looks
and if you lay me down near the sunrows of books so quiet i will read aloud in hopes that i find you amongst them your backbones bound like faces in a crowd
i’ve taken on your ailments
traded time to k!ll
all your past with presents
i make my daddy ill

and i was built to roam my darling
and so were you it’s only fair
but when i come home my darling
i will know cause you’ll be there
