You talk about your body like it is a thing to want
And I talk about your body like it is a thing I want
Lord knows I love to press myself against a door that locks
Lord knows I love to want someone who wants to want to want
I’m imperious in romance, trading reason for the rhyme
Strategizing over breakfast how I might could make you mine
Lord knows I love a conquest, zealous converts in a line
Lord knows I’m coming over, and I hope that that’s alright
Oh is it alright?
At the party, your voice comes to me like water over rocks
Palms behind me sliding over walls to find a door that locks
Lord knows I’ve run some red lights, vision clouded by our talks
Lord knows how hard I pull when there’s a tug upon the rod
Who do you call for your favors? What do you put in your hair?
And will you text me when you get home, and when you are nearly there?
Lord knows I’m anxious to feel what it’s like inside your care
Lords knows I’m picturing you deep in sleep and asking
Can I be there?
Oh can I be there?
Oh can I be there?
No, oh can I be there?
OOoooooOOOoOooo

Pyramids

My therapist says I should tell more people about what happened
I don’t think she meant it quite like this
We sat on your porch and you told me all about your best friend
How you never read his messages
You smoked a whole pack of American Spirits in just ten minutes
Absent eyes grew wide with fearfulness
What happened honey?
I can see it in your body
It’s scary easy
How you come and go from body
The more I explore you I feel there’s something buried in you
It smells like copper and acid
But every time you go looking for it you get diverted
Like the dead ends in the pyramids
That time in the shower you flew back from me hearing voices
You said babe are we alone in here?
And other days I had to look so deep in you to find you
I said babe are you alone in here?
What happened honey?
I can see it in your body
It’s scary easy
How you come and go from body
Who did this honey?
Wait don’t tell me I will kill them
Such evil angels
And the cowards who instill them
Instill them
I’ll still them
We realized you were ransacked by that friend who calls you
Saw your bones and said he found them first
So when I loved you by invitation you felt intrusion
Yeah it’s safest to assume the worst
Now to my knowledge the only people blocked on your phone
Are the archaeologist and me
Here we stand silent beside each other on ground uncertain
Monuments to who we thought we’d be
But even if theft and erosion grind you down to nothing
You are still the wonder of my world
