Palimpsest - Lauren Bousfield

Suck down whatever moral dilemma you have

Dress it up nevermind

I’m staying in tonight

Hold on to your futurelessness

Seething hypervigilance

Everyone’s out to get you

Constantly logging inconsistencies to defend yourself against later

Use the trauma like a cudgel

Another wind song about victimhood and talented men

People who can get away with being vague

Oh god

I hope I’m growing as a person

Mouth stopped open in fear and the shark has pearly teeth dear

And he shows them pearly whites
