carry me out

there's a lie that i hold to you that now i can't tell the truth and it ate me inside, so one soft drunken night i slept with a man you knew and in the morning, i walked home alone and the businessman saw my bones with my skirt in their eyes, they remembered the night

circle

mom, i'm tired can i seep in your house tonight? mom, is it alright if i stay for a year or two? mom, i'll be quiet it would be just to sleep at night and i'll leave once i figure out how to pay for my own life too
