lyrics

The rough-hewn etch of your new-chosen name
Stenciled high in relief through the dark wood frame
Of the lacquered, old picnic table I knead with my knuckles
The sandwich shop that we couldn’t afford
Liquor in a bag and the dog next door
Reminding me all of a time when I honestly loved ya

But I did what I do, and you, you shaved your head
And we both brushed our reasons off our shoulders
I’m a shelter-shed, I’m a hospital bed,
If you’re falling in love, you must be nearly dead

Or maybe you just like cutting against the grain

She fights off migraines with her off-color jokes and casual smokes
She prefers to have her self-assessment unaided by strangers
Molten memories amass and burn through the soot in her spine
Her reasons, excuses, misuses are all dead on the vine

Geography takes hold, she sings aloud as she cries
“The Lost shall overcome the myth of heaven”
Keep the passion raw, keep a strong lower jaw
Drag a fist through the mist from which the demons draw

But most of all keep cuttin’ cuttin’ cuttin’ against the grain
