New Blood - Their / They're / There

Sing so softly my name

Like a sparrow’s evening throat

It closes up

It closes on the winter weather

You or I or us awake now

Call in favors

Call in, sick

Call for help

To settle scores for all things better

You and I, alone

Pillow-talking patience

Evening operations

Dissecting you and I alone

Just travelling through stations

Frequencies and faces

It’s always you and I alone

Along the cycles

After all

It seems our spare bedroom is cursed

For new blood well rehearsed

For something or someone to rise and recite what’s worse

Drift around the painted walls

The keys don’t work often if they work at all

A dimly lit sign of retail and red alerts

Where the spare bedroom is cursed

It’s new blood well rehearsed

With something or someone to rise and recite who’s worse

Carefully select the next in line

Carefully repeat or reconcile

Carefully select the next in line

Carefully repeat and reconcile

It’s always you and I, alone

Pillow-talking patience

Evening operations

It’s always you and I alone

Just travelling through stations

Frequencies and faces

It’s always you and I, alone
