Lyrics
I am sorry I have no happy poems about the ashy hallelujah of knees. Whenever I open my mouth, ghosts raid my poor tongue demanding names. I say Devonte & my mouth drips stray braids. I say Keshawn & vomit gold teeth. It's always like this, my one good song still unclaimed at the morgue, my hands try to clap & end up cupping a skull.
