steel and dogs and air balloons

(for Taylor)

it's like your chest is swelling
swelling
swelling
swelling
swelling
like it's filling up with air
and you're flying over
houses and
guard dogs
the people look but you don't care

it's like your heart is melting
melting
melting
melting
melting
you're like steel beneath the flame
and you're pouring over
mouldings and
heartstrings
you want the world to know her name

oh how you
wish that you
could just forget it all
go back to the beginning
but you can't settle down on the ground where you used to be
you can't recongeal to the form that you used to be
you're cooling in this moulding that you do not like at all
and you're hurtling uncomfortably from the sky
