Pull the shirt down in the reeling, reeling.
Pull the shirt down, take the kneeling home.
Meadow break down, hold the burrow, burrow.
Meadow hold still and the hill back bows.
White tail lurching down the country backroad.
White tail wicked up as the sun sits low.
High stepping cross the bridge again.
Force the nails back in, keep your fears in tow.
I'm coughing up shards of my broken power.
I don't want to bring my children to a loveless world.
My wife is a promise, she is patient like the past.
In my woman, I see my young body aging fast.
If she asks, I love her,
but I've found my front yard.
We are bears brother,
peeling roofs in the dark.
