about

A song about gender euphoria and phone sex.

lyrics

I’ve got skin made of glass
Not blown but crystal-cut
I’m all edges and chips
I’m all pockets and dust

I’ve got a pack of white shirts
You can see right through
I’ve got a hand-drawn map
Of where to meet you

I want to practice kissing you with new lips
I want to hide out and watch the sun drip
I want to feel the rain after a long drought
I want to walk the city with my legs out

As soon as we touch
You clench two fists around my lungs
I’m a strawberry sliced thin
Dissolving on your tongue

But honeysuckle wilts
After a day or two alone
So a couple states away
You watch me finish on your phone

I want to practice kissing you with new lips
I want to build a temple where my skin fits
I want to be the valley when the dam bursts
I want to grow my fingers in the soft earth

I want to take you home, I want to take you home
I want to take you home, I want to take you home
Reach with both hands, we’ll never be here again
