The Whale Song

I love the chunk in your chest
The lump in your throat
The stones in your coat
I love the chunk in your chest
The blade in your lungs
Metal taste on your tongue
I love the chunk in your chest
The knot in your night
That time won’t untie
How did you kidnap yourself
(that we did not know)
How did you kidnap yourself
(that we did not know)
I love the chunk in your chest
The lines in your head
That cling to your bed
I love the chunk in your chest
The blemish of blue
That hands can’t remove
I love the chunk in your chest
The brittle of night
That time won’t revive
How did you kidnap yourself
(that we did not know)
How did you kidnap yourself
(that we did not know)
I asked the whale to spit me out
She said darling I never closed my mouth
Look up look up and swim around
You’ve fallen in love with the echo the sound
Of the belly the beast the underground
There’s nothing wrong
You are all of yourself
Above below
So much to not know
Come leave stop go
I can’t look this in the eye
I’ve tried
I don’t wanna end this on a high
It’s not right
Sometimes your love feels like a long goodbye
