Looseleaf - Sinai Vessel

Here I stand, like a tree

Nervous on the edge of a clearing

Limbs afraid to be cut looseleaf

To be cut down

So I’ll cut myself out

Free from bind to branch and felling ground

So here I am

So here I am in the penultimate act

We’re forcing our lines and canning our laughs

As the curtains break over our backs

As the curtains break over our backs

They say, «A necessary phase, move along, move along

It gets better everyday, move along»

Too scared of isolation to see

That the picture edge adjacent to me

Although skilled in diplomacy and loose at the sleeve

It was nowhere near a complemental piece

You’re on fifth, and I’m on three

But it makes no difference to gravity

We’ll land just the same: brokenlegged

And no matter my dexterity, I can’t untie the text from me

That suggests a hell awaits me should I choose to leave

Should I choose to leave

So here I stand in the penultimate act

Forcing my lines and canning my laughs

As the curtains break over our backs

As the curtains break over our backs

Should a noise provide us reason to start in the night

And we don’t look to opened windows

Or what should in the stairwell rise

And we suspect no other criminal with whom the guilt lies

Than who sleeps permanent at our sides

It’s time for moving on

It’s a necessary phase, moving on, moving on

It gets better everyday, moving on

It’s a necessary phase, moving on, moving on

It gets better everyday, moving on
