Adelina
Do you ever forget to breathe
By the poolside
Does somebody still hold your knee?
And does it matter
Remembering what we’re supposed to be
Hypoxic children
Dipping hands in and out our fingers slowly melting down under the green
Didn’t call back
Didn’t think you would understand
And I’ve been fine
(Not that’s what you were going to ask)
Pulled my teeth out
Started listening to that band
That you don’t like
Feel my gums rolling round my tongue soapily fingering down around the plaque
Early riser
You had only turned seventeen
When we found that body
Caught under the rushes and weeds
Does it haunt you
Remembering what she used to be
Small town drifter
The deep end tide rolling out your memory coldly sifting down Into the sheen
Adelina
Do you still forget to breathe
By the poolside
Does the body still hold your knee?
It doesn’t matter
Remembering what you grew up to be
Anoxic plaything
Slip your mind in and out the matter slowly melting down under the green

This album makes me totally giddy. I think I felt real joy deep from my gut for the first time in a while today. The warmth of the sun on your face. Falling in and out of love. Hooks for days. bbanimalstories
