Perfectly Collapsing

What if nothing…
collapses perfectly, like a paper fan
Fold my body
Crinkle at the edges and tear.
Collecting all the reasons to possess a body
No less than perfect.
Tell my maker, make me something better
With steel and diamonds.
Behind us is a crowd of lovers
Behind us is a valley to be slipping into
I take one step backwards
I take one step backwards…
To wash away this womanly pain.
I’m only bleeding out my iron.
It’s only once a month
But I still want to kill
The animal within.
And then all will become
perfectly collapsing machines.
Behind us is a crowd of judges
Behind us is a valley to be slipping into
I take one step backwards
I take one step backwards …
To become a better machine
More killer less creator.
And there are whole gaggles of girls being told
That they don’t have the time and they don’t have the choice
To be her.

Needs
these feelings come and go, but you stay
on the same foot in the same hole
but when I look away I need you to still be
holding out for me
please communicate.
what do you need
to fall asleep?
what do you need to fall asleep?
we both know that
I need you to shift your feet
step out of holes and you know
it’ll be fine.
don’t linger on the times you were lonely
they will poison you
it will complicate
the sense of freedom you can gain from solitude
yes, those restless nights could be safe for you.
what do you need
to fall asleep?
what do you need to fall asleep?
we both know that
I need you to shift your feet
step out of holes and you know
it’ll be fine.
yes it’ll be fine ohhh
yes it’ll be fine
