Rind

[Verse 1]

It is lodged under my bed

I can't sleep for it cracking away

The dark rind of the world, peeled open, peeled away

[Verse 2]

Oh, I hear it all night, its silence, its absence

The space where you had just been

And we had known we were kin

[Chorus]

I'm so tired, I'm so tired of it

I wanna sleep, but it tells me that its near my feet

In its teeth, that it's near that its waiting

[Outro]

The wind took the words from my mouth

I just lay there and let it

The world ground on, sweet tongued

While I watched from my moon, my bedroom
