Muscle Memory - We Cut Corners

I wait until the sun goes down to leave the house

That way no one has to worry about my why or when or whereabouts

It helps to picture you alone with someone else

I can tap into that righteous anger I’ve denied myself

But at the moment of conception, I was barely in the room

I wait for them to come to me on principle

So far nobody has showed up, but I’m convinced they will

The unspoken code of broken souls, I’m speaking it

I’m peaking creativly and nobody’s critiquing it

But at the moment of conception, I was barly in the room

For the first time in what felt like forever

I knew where I needed to be

And I thought I could feel you beside me

But it was only a muscle memory

Pray for whatever remains of whoever

Told you that time was the enemy

I just thought I could feel you beside me

But it was only a muscle memory

Our bodies die a thousand deaths, but the will survives

As I metabolize the mess I’ve made of both our lives

I trawl through taxonomies of cause and consequence

And end up pinning it on white Anglo Saxon providence

At the moment of conception I was barely in control

For the first time in what felt like forever

I knew where I needed to be

And I thought I could feel you beside me

But it was only a muscle memory

Pray for whatever remains of whoever

Told you that time was the enemy

I just thought I could feel you beside me

But it was only a muscle memory
