MUSIC

less ambiguous this time

Garrett Green

​Lyrics

Thoughts and mass

Sink like rocks with rags attached

Hands meet your head

Reluctant to release what you could not tie back down until

 

We buried songs

Watched the pipes fill with mud

Now I drink with our temporary friends and pretend

 

And though I put the bodies in the ground, somehow I’m stuck pretending words are ripping weeds from my mind
