Rattle at Will - Laura Stevenson

To the universe I’m wasting your time

Bending my veins in your face, how do I dare?

Out here in the thickening air

Clutch the body I’m given

Is there a way to live?

I’d die to know it

I’d die to feel, is this the fear?

Is this the fear?

Is this the fear?

When I believed you’d tell me

Never to need like I do

And the tallest crane in the skyline I was to you

And all that I could taste was your spit

And all your caution

Needn’t be careful with me love

I’d say rattle at will, I’ve been drinking my milk

And like trembling leaves right before the big freeze

I was with you

Oh, the way it came in shakes like a clumsy rail

Smoking brakes and sparklers

All out of sorts just as it goes after the doors close

High up, to you I was once
