glisten

did you care about me when i went missing
(yall don’t see me till i show up glistening)
yall would write it down and try to make business
(and i’ll go off like lily on ‘shut up and listen’)
and it’s breaking when we try the long distance
(i would doubt it but you just insisted)
and now you’re.. you’re gone.. . gone

and when i catch light
will i stop feeling alone?
i still don’t know
when will it all feel right?
why can’t i call a place my home?
i want to know

you don’t care about me, just say the reason
(hit me back up in a year when you need it)
i see you back up to the door like you’re leaving
(well you can see yourself out and i mean it)
you would treat me like a chore till i’m bleeding
(and then call it breaking news, ‘can’t believe it!’)
was in your window display
you can watch but now you’ll have to pay

can i stop feeling alone?
i still don’t know
when will it all feel right?
why can’t i call a place my home?
i want to know

see us floating in the water
or hear us drown in all our sorrows
‘drink up’ when the tap is toxic
is that what you all get off on?

y’all don’t want to be a part of
something that y’all can’t cash in on
my ship already departed
i’ll sail to the clean, and farther
GTF up out my way
imma wrangle all my babies
take them all away with me
and we’ll find a new place to stay
