pinch

Mother to none like a bird Throws their young to the floor And they lie in the heat of a circling sun I told you I don't feel alive In this body of mine Yet I feel and I cry and I smile and I lie Mmm And maybe if I pinch much harder I'll get off into a better plane And maybe if you look too long You might just start to feel the same If I just swallow my pride Stop hiding, let go Hold my tongue and my breath Leave my bones aside Then I'll take the apple and eat it And leave all my peace in this world behind I'll close my eyes And maybe if I pinch much harder I'll get off into a better plane And maybe if you look too long You might just start to feel the same And maybe if I pinch much harder I'll get off into a better plane And maybe if you look too long You might just start to feel the same I'll send my body above to the stars To the whispering cradling arms Of forgotten gods There they will hold me and eat me alive And I'll writhe in an orbit of crystalline lies From above
