lyrics

I was sorry for a time
but it sunk
with all the other little somethings
I swept under the blinds I keep shut

I've been sorry for myself
but it floats
inside my inner ears
and disrupts my heel-toe patterns
I trip over the ones I trust

I don't shine out
anymore
I don't shine out
I am preoccupied
with cells dividing, without my consciousness
I am unblessed
unblessed because I am not the sun

Time is in the dirt that scales my fingernails
but when I cut them off
I am still not free

Time is in the dirt that scales my fingernails
but when I cut them off
I am still
still sorry
