And I'll swing byFrom time to timeMay I apologize forThe lies I said when I–

Call it a miscommunicationGirl I test your patienceCall myself a fox because IFind myself but waitinPrayin super-sayin' all the things I think I should be brayinI think you're a wolf but still I'llBait you like I made it

But Mami, I just faked it.You saw through all my bullshit while I stood there like half-nakedNot in flesh, in motiveYou're the truth, I almost spoke it—Crowbar to my lock and I am ashen to your oak, yeah

So don't you wait up late, don't youSave me any light—I'll swing by when I'm worthy but that might never happen, right?

You think I'm for sale cuz you saw my titties—a total of twoBoy, congratulations, you discovered what half the planet-Grew a little homunculus and taught him I was youKept him in a lunchbox with your dreams and Mountain DewFed him little plastic hearts and wet cigarette perfumeTucked him in beside your headphones every afternoonDrew him little paper bones and folded him some shoesGave him all your favorite movies, gave him all your favorite views

Painted freckles on his shoulders where you thought I oughta bruiseTaught him how to laugh on cue and when to say "I needed you"Then got scared when he had fingerprints and favorite colors tooStarted checkin all his pockets for the girl you thought you grew

Boy, your little creature's cryin, sayin "Who the fuck are you?"Scratchin tiny words in pencil on the inside of your roomNow he's starin out the window every time I walk on throughI think your little 'munculus fell-Harder than you do

Now swing by somewhere elseAnd sing your manifestoThank you for the poemThe drywall seemed invested
