all the fur you grow
takes its course to be known
your grip's so strong
when you say hello
make my teeth feel small
claws retract and dull
there's nowhere to hide
since your shelter's mine
don't swallow rocks today
they won't dissolve in me
just soften as I freeze
I gulp them down to breathe
friends you boast
lie in your perspective
hung in frames on walls
to conceal your flaws
lace my blood with paint
adopt a fuzzy brain
I'm just someone else
you desire to claim
don't swallow rocks today
they won't dissolve in me
just soften as I freeze
absorbed in false belief
hereditary hate
so I gulp them down to breathe

Steve seems to have a way of speaking to the soul in his music. This album is full of lovely melancholy with a tinge of hope. A perfect piece during this pandemic. JgoldOmega
