Lindsay Fuller - Circa Never lyrics

Overdue library book Once was lost but now I owe you Milk crate on my bicycle Coming down the road to see you Paper said your mother died Didn't say she took her own life Starved herself to d**h last year Sent you to grief without supper Paper skin and breadcrumb bone Fingers in the bedsore balm Latin in the 7th grade Conjugate the verb: to carry Bear your mother to her grave Bear the burden of her memory Wish I could've held you then Helped you hide her in the red dirt Wish I'd done a lot of things But wishing only summons hurt Knocked upon an open door Heard you weeping in the hallway Mother's gone to ask the Lord If He thinks her soul's worth saving Rough drafts of a eulogy Written in the blackest ink Circling you like a choir Chorus of the unexpired Got my fingers crossed forever Got my rabbit's foot A talisman from ancient Rome But d**h don't give a damn Had a dream the other night Drove you to the cemetery Dug a ditch with our bare hands Laid to rest that overdue book Spine of Dewey decimal Poems of Edgar Allen Poe Blackbirds sang in minor chords Last we ever exchanged words
