This Could’ve Been You Lyrics

It looks like graphite covered in algae, slug slime, and bloody tissue 

It's huge, filling my whole belly 

It's sharp, perforating my organs 

It's yours, not mine, yet I've sucked it in through my belly button and stored it here 

I've absorbed it, giving it a home 

This could've been you, this could've been you

Extricating it out over and over but it's left behind tendrils merged with me 

I could give it back to you

Or I could release it into the air 

Every thread I pull rips at me 

I've never been more open and gaping

You think I'm cold 

But the wounds left behind hold innumerable microscopic fires 

This could've been you, this could've been you

Movement

Breath

Unlock

Move it 

Break it

Block it
