Mathematics
In the nature of your numbers
On an axis, on an axis
Hidden aboard, the words you swore
Were gone
Across a map
The behaviour of your neighbours
I won't go, I’m lost without
Bathe
In/out
(Oh, she’d know how)
She bore the breadth
In the force and all awaited
I’m relaxed, now, I’m relaxed now
You’re numb and you walk
You eat, you’re rising on
Well, the fact is
In the vapour and the paper
I won’t slow enough to mask
Fade
In, out
Pray, all told
The waves go slow
You wade on home
You’re safe and sound
Wake, unfold
The days follow
You stayed with us
Hollowed out
Bathe out the boredom
You’re a forest, you’re
Safe and sound
Drain out the chorus
I’m a tourist, I’m
Hollowed out
In and of itself
The denim would be fraying now
Fraying now
We were not ourselves
Death-defying, wearing out
