la lune

Billie Marten

Breaking my back in the heart of this land
Feet above water and softened in sand
I could have wanted any part of this

But I find the heat is too harsh on the skin
Drowning in light
Need the cold to sink in to my soul
My soul

Ignore signs of change, no more
I come back again
I am flawed

Swallow me whole with the moon on my back
One side is pink and the other is black
I'm good at hiding in the dead and grey

Time after time I've been people I'm not
Places we go to
Are all that we've got
So why don't we go
I never know

Ignore signs of change, no more
I come back again
I am flawed
