Emily Haines - Sprig

Fresh
Fresh when sleeping meant every other night
Falling asleep for the fifth time.
Early in the morning,
Falling asleep for the fifth time.
Early in the morning.

Awake in terror, words staring back at him, never to be used.
Their hands on hold,
So quiet, they could hear each other's thinking, denying.
Garner interest, each other's thinking, denying.
Garner interest

Making of life, a forged painting,
Life's big magnet tug, tugging.
Making of life, a forged painting,
Life's big magnet tug, tugging.
And listeners like you
And listeners like you
And listeners like you
