Cut Your Ribbon

Wake up
Can you hear me?
You’re so clever, did you find me
In the back room
In your closet
In your suitcase?
There’s no running
I will find you
Like a glacier cuts the seabed
Leaving canyons
In your cheekbones
Passing through you
In the shadows
Scenes undo you
Cut your ribbon
As it follows you
Everything, everything
How can you sleep at night
As it falls apart
Anything, anything
How can you sleep at night
Face it, can you hear it?
Violation, you’ll remember
It’s all harmless
Incidental, disengaging
These thoughts break you
Conscious, vicious
It has found you
Monovision, synapse fails you
Frequent syndrome
Stings and burns through
Monovision, then dilutes you
Cut your ribbon
As it follows you
Everything, everything
How can you sleep at night
As it falls apart
Anything, anything
How can you sleep at night
Can you escape these motives
Can you escape these motives
Can you escape these motives
Cut your ribbon
As it follows you
Everything, everything
How can you sleep at night
As it falls apart
Anything, anything
How can you sleep at night
