Gristly Words

It's what stays that makes the escape worth
You grab the future as the past goes lost
We're celebrating what you called a fugue
I said l'd be following you
On board this merry-go-round
Spinning faster than the speed of sound
I saw your jaw bone at work
Chewing on some gristly words

But don't you know it girl
I wouldn't make you fall

You're so clearly shaped in this blur
But what you said couldn't tell for sure
I know you're getting deeper in the mood
You've got it written all over you
Before we started this war
Against the strongholds of our new-born-ghosts
I saw your methodical nose
Planning all the smallest moves
