Gauze

medicated dull, your attention

dry winter miles, diamonds and glass

cheaters hands, you never take care

you never take care, stars are out

spilling from afraid of flying

trembling planes, diamonds and glass

mink eyed, marble eyed

in the gauze, in the weeds

by the drain, red on pale

there's a nail by the vent

sweet for your heel in the gauze

marble eyed, waiting there,

kiss your mouth to shut you up

crossed and lowered, cheaters fine

wings on fire, the stars are out

whisper stung in the wires

all you steal, you never take care

mink eyed, marble eyed

in the gauze, in the weeds

by the drain, red on pale

there's a nail by the vent

sweet for your heel in the gauze

marble eyed, waiting there

kiss your mouth to shut you up
