too small for eyes

#wcw this may be (one of) the most beautiful song(s) ive ever heard. i cant stop listening to it and her soul singing makes me cry every time. especially the very last part, on which the album version is full of weeping strings and tears start involuntarily streaming. i wish i could write like this.

too small for eyes

all things aside i gave enough of my time.
i lost a dozen friends of mine
but i dont think it will be long now.
please tell me that you wont be long

i hate my body
i love your taste
birds stirring in my chest
you give and take away

restless limb, restless mind
how time will test its teeth, oh god.
we lived unloved in unmade beds
you wore me like a necklace
you closed me like a locket.

became something bloodied with doubt
bullied by love too small for eyes
too small for eyes

i think im at my best
when nothings needing me.
walked softly as i could and still
i stepped on all their feet.
i want to apologize to everyone i see
i want to apologize to everyone i meet.
