Shit Twins

       There is a chest of skin, of drawers, with pictures of waterspouts

           coming out from the ocean and into the mainland

   where you once lived before when you were younger before you learned

           how to hope, want, or wish

          Your step became unsteady once, even more, every time

        you would stand on shrapnel.

  Underneath your feet, there was a growth under your skin, an addition of pride,

       for your  newfound wasteland

                                   But even worse, the future you see,

                      the future you bring, the future you are completely okay with.

       I could wait up sick, waiting for a response, I could wait up

      waiting for anything, and it’s something that you’re completely okay with.

                       You’ve  been  standing    outside    of   my

     apartment with your mouth open wide, and I haven’t heard enough of it.
 G
 Tell me, tell me, Miranda,
 A
 where do you see yourself tomorrow?
 Bm
 Do you worry each Wednesday,
          D
 when the week is almost over,
 G
 where you will sleep
 A
 where you will sleep
      Bm
 your sanctuary is Missouri in May,
       D
 and I still insist on cutting my tongue off.

                       You’ve  been  standing    outside    of   my

     apartment with your mouth open wide, and I haven’t heard enough of it.
 G                       A
 I will not speak of the crash,
                      Bm
 cause if it is never spoken of,
                         D
 then history will never know it happened.
          G
 If it is never written about,
      A
 then no one can ever read it.
          Bm
 If it is never talked about,
      D
 then no one can ever hear it
      G                            A                  Bm      D
 then no one can ever hear it then no one can ever hear it
       G
 Do we know the truths
          A
 Of every broken step?
              Bm
 Only if it’s told,
 forgotten when it’s old,
D                    A
 undesired and cold,
             A           Bm      D
 there is no story to be sold.

 G     A    Bm    D
 (we’ll say)                           X4
       G
 We’ll say
            A
 we’ll meet up in some hotel room,
       Bm
 be it fancy or pay by the hour,
           D
 and we’ll comfort each other
                 G
 like we used to in our time,
                  A
 you’ll say it’ll be just like the old days
        Bm
 but it won’t be the fucking old days
        D
 no it won’t be the fucking old days,
      G
 only now with our broken parts,
      A                          Bm
 our overused and torn up pieces.
                                 D
 Will it be better than before?
                                 G
 Will it be better than before?
                               A
 Do we thank our practice with others,
                            Bm
 or will it be tarnished by exact thought?
            D
 Will it be better than before?
            G
 Will it be better than before?
            A                Bm        D
 Will it be better than befoooooore?
