Rain drops tapping away at my bones and I creak

The house sways in time

For me to mind

Everything around me

I’m an engine

You pull me

Slowly

When words are worn down and the sounds that I need are visceral

You see now, I’m miserable

I’m an engine

You pull me

Slowly

Breathe into me and I’ll take the life out of you

But when it comes to it, I’ll let you do it

If you want to

I’m an engine

You pull me

Slowly

Out with a whimper, goin 90

On a backroad, I cannot see ahead of me

But you're so agreeable

I can taste the smoke of a thousand years

Aching on your skin

The riches you're used to surface again

I’ll break the stars against you, you’ve won

Fragmented, and dangerous, I’m outdone

When words are worn down and the sounds that I need are visceral

You see now, I’m miserable
