Peeling off the Bark - Pinegrove

leanin in a dark room:

a look alike james wright

(when all my life I’ve been rejecting

what will I say yes to?)

what did I say yes to?

i’d been cutting glass carefully

& all my time was spent alone;

i didn’t expect you

what did I say yes to?

what did I say?

been talkin ‘bout you so much

i’m talkin you away

(what did I say yes to?

what did I say?

i’ve been talkin about you so much

i’m talking you away)

cookin up some mushroom in my kitchen

tryna tell you about my month

you’re only half-listening

i know i never listen

how can i?

Your eyes bloom:

slanted yellow in the blinds

bleeding into a dark room//

so how could i say yes to you?

what should i say?

i’ve been talking ‘bout you so much

yea, what did I say yes to?

what did I say?

i’ve been thinkin ‘bout you so much

i think I’m thinkin you away

i’m opening it up now:

What a plunge!

What a lark!

i’m picking all the seeds out

i’m peeling off the bark

i’m picking all the seeds out!

i’m breaking it apart

i’m opening it up now

i’m peeling off the bark
