lyrics

i can feel my fingers numb in the middle of the grit
younger mother is myself squaring father's temperament
never fold my laundry straight
never butter on both sides
stretch a body into weight
stretch a sentence into lies
climb no mountains, lick no sculpture
gardens never help me wander
everything i desire seems so expensive
i hope i will choose love over devices
but its not concrete to depend on our triceps
cause what i'm always dealing is not what i'm supplying

touch the mirror, it's perfection
nothing fearing our correction

i can feel my elbows numb in the middle of the grease
younger sister is myself watching both our fathers cheat
never play vortex for keeps
never better on both sides
stretch into the soil's dreams
stretch your farmland into tides
i will body everybody i will magnetize
i will bother everybody i will magnetize
i will body everybody lifting up our eyes (into that deep night sky)

younger mother is myself
younger mother

(younger mother, where do you wander?)

never fold my laundry straight
never butter on both sides
stretch a body into weight
stretch a sentence into lies
climb no mountains, lick no sculpture
gardens never help me wander
everything i desire seems so expensive
