lyrics

gargle saltwater for perfect health
bite bullets to improve your sense of self
hairline fractures crawl across your fragile jaw
puzzle pieces held together hide your flaws

come sift through the rubble with me
let the waves drag us into the sea

fill up your tired shoes with rich brown soil
plant flowers you folded from old tin foil
place them on the kitchen counter in the sun
every morning we will see the good it's done

by summer the sprouts reach our knees
stir poems into warm breakfast tea

you aren't who you thought you would be
you aren't who you thought you would be
you aren't who you thought you would be
you aren't who you thought you
