lyrics

When you post selfies it feels like I might die, but actually it's keeping me alive.

draped like calla lilies
across misaligned furniture
scattered from a crashing vase
this is how you lie here
on the glass in my hand

tears rising in me
like pin pricks to oil wells
rich and revolting
rising in me

how can I look at you
and not feel like i'm dying
to not feel so far from life
to see your face
is to imagine the night sky
while knowing i'm buried alive

but when you post your pictures
like calling cards at the station
i can hear the shovel
scraping through the stony earth
and i know you're digging me out.

you reach down and lift me up
you reach down and lift us up
you reach and reach and reach
until we might meet the sky together
