Electric poles sprout from the Earth While no one was watching The crooked smile you always wore Like you were born sideways Flip on the light Grab my braids Prop me up right I try to speak but I only leak water Tentacles crawl through your curls I spin around ‘til I'm nauseous My child teeth fall through my lips The new ones grow in sharp Flip on the light Grab my braids Prop me up right I try to speak but I only leak water Matching bows Strangle hold Matching bows In the morning light Matching bows Strangle hold In the morning light The taut strings of my family tree Too tight to tie Too harsh to hold Too tight to tie I try to speak but I only leak water
