I Played God

from Skeleton by Ellen Siberian Tiger

/

lyrics

You taught me to play God.
(It’s not what it sounds like.)
My outline blurs into yours,
And this fits with our previous discussions of molecules.
Did you wanna, did you wanna,
Did you wanna fit inside my ribs?

Sheets are the same
But the mattress is different.
Time’s fast, speak slow, you stay, I’ll go.
I can’t remember,
It feels like the first time.
Did I wanna, did I wanna,
Did I watch them ink your wrist?

It’s important that we remember
what was said
when we talk to each other
each reassuring the next.

Eyes shaking you see in color
Like the moving pictures I’d seen.
I never could seem to understand
The things you try to explain.

Next time I won’t leave you guessing.
Next time I swear I’ll speak up.
I won’t succumb to the pride in my head
Or the hurt in my heart.

But there’s longing in my skeleton.
