lyrics

i contrived a way to deny your power:
weigh the canopy; name every leaf and every stem.
feign desire, grief.
resolve to keep away from me what i’m keeping away from you.

i’m wide awake.
a great wave that didn’t know better.

try to describe the light, to assign a pattern.
each conifer manifests grey echoes in silhouette.

a great wave, my mind has changed.
you should’ve known better.

a great wave. i’m wide awake.
you should’ve known better,
but you did it anyway,
you should’ve known better.
