Histories - Ourselves Incarnate
Settle for more than a bargainIf the mortar doesn’t harden, you flush it out
Begin to shape into your own with all accompanying suggestions and anecdotes
Before I knew it, you were strengthening your jaw
I couldn’t wait to hear you sing along
I’ll be the first to imitate if it would take you back to a cathartic state
You pinch me like the nerve I knew I lost
Clinging to the leisure in exhaust
See me for the things that I am not
Pedestals and all
I think I needed you more than you needed me
Maybe “hibition” is something that I can hold
You only ever need to ask what I may know
Glad to try and explain if I could ever assist
But unless you’re bleeding out for secrets in my veins
I’m all ears
The truth is, I’m happier to diminish
Looking after a suspended sense of worth
Start over new in growing old
Unlike the self that was intent to be original
You pinch me like the nerve I knew I lost
Clinging to the leisure in exhaust
See me for the things that I am not
Pedestals and all
I think I needed you more than you needed me
Maybe “hibition” is something that I can hold
You only ever need to ask what I may know
Glad to try and explain if I could ever assist
Until you’re bleeding out for secrets in my veins…
See me when you start to think you hate me
See me dangling allure over your head
Never once was I afraid to hold you
Only that I might begin to hold you back
