lyrics

somethings been ringing for a while now
but swinging at my alarm just reminds me how heavy my arms are
and my fingers are curled around their own prune
and I think i might be drowning
but all i see are blues and reds
and seahorses racing back from work to get back to their spouses
and an octopus bagging groceries with eight hands
an angler that can't find his glasses
and some stingray listening to electronic music
while old lady puffer fishes swell in agitation

i thought i was scared of death but death looks more friendly now than it did when i was a kid
there's something gentle about strangers forgetting i existed
and someone replacing my body in all my favorite places
wearing down leather car seats with a body shaped different than mine is and
peeling back wallpaper with a new set of anxious fingers
i like to think it's easy to forget me
a lot of the time i forget me
i can't feel real unless there's someone to remind me

but right now i'm alone
and the ache in my chest feels pretty convincing
and my wet shirt is clinging to my back that's still clinging to existence
all the dust is washing off the parts of me i thought i hated
that i stuffed between my bed and the wall with lost socks and water bottles
and forgot about until now
but this is it
the ringing sounds like church bells
and the sun is somewhere I can't see
so i just swallow
and ask the fish to remember my name
