Something Like A Cage

you are something like a cage to me
you are a heart-sized hole in the sea
where my ship sinks

you are something like feeling afraid to me
you are a shitty southern city sized hole in the sea
where my ship still sinks

i want to be all you have left
or i want to be your death

then i would drive from anywhere
to be at your funeral
'cause it's not like you could ask me to leave


you said you'd be here forever, but
where are you, where are you now?


there ain't much
left of me, i'll admit
see but,
i ain't dead yet


heart dried and cracked like crow's feet
arms as strong as the sea
one day, man, i'm gonna be
more afraid of death than i am lonely
i'm always thinking about death
thinking about what's left

there's not a lot to think about
