Tomorrow is the first place I fell.

Hand me storied stitches in tangles of yesterdays

Brittle frays with bitten ends

Arrange this graveyard in families of forevers

Nothing but names to remember us by

The laughter isn't lost on me

In these silken seams that shouldn't be

Unhinge infallible from its rust-ransomed frame

Easy come and easier go

Faith was a slip knot tied round my waist

The farther I felt, the tighter the twist

Weave wild and wonder at the monsters I made

As you split me to shattered, I sang

The littlest lullaby I could remember

Between the scorch-earth sting

Of your ignition triggers and my thundering resolve

Grasp my gasp in a white knuckled fist

Today the floor I hit taught me to stand.
