truncate Lyrics

The trunk ate my arms, and legs

So many of them, second skin, like

I was a lizard in the desert heat

I shed my form beneath my feet.

And with a thunk, hate; my arms, my legs

So much of them, too heavy, like

Pulled down by my own deleterious weight

My own mislabeled feet unlaced

Unburdened by the unbearable

My skin no longer wearable

So died a cry, so long a sigh

So longing will forget me

Limbless and listless

Lost more and missed less

One wing less, a crispness

Quick hands and thick sand

Bottle in my hand

I don't understand

The sand ate my heart, a start

To counteract the cataracts, like

One shirt-sleeve left to linger on the sand

A boat that sunk above the land

The trunk ate my watch, and time

That once was fine sand, misaligned, like

The sand was a sea of glass turned back again

To when you were my only friend

Unburdened by the unbearable

My skin no longer wearable

So died a cry, so long a sigh

So longing will forget me

Limbless and listless

Lost more and missed less

One wing less, a crispness

Quick hands and thick sand

Bottle in my hand

I don't understand

Why i can't just go back to you

Lighting struck before it knew

That hue would cry, and cry would dew

The things i couldnt, couldn't do
