fatima aamer bilal, excerpt from moony moonless sky’s ‘i am an observer, but not by choice.’
[text id: my fist has always been clenched around the handle of an invisible suitcase. / i am always ready to leave. / there is not a single room in this world where i belong.]
demo for a song I wrote recently (it doesn't even have a name)

The passive aggressive remarks
claw at the seams of my lips
You’re the woodpecker I’m the tree bark
scratch all the worms out my skin
(Interlude w all the same stuff but nothing on the b string for one of the rounds)
shoot down my messenger pigeon
countdown the days to come home
radiowaves got nothin on you sweetheart
but that's all I've ever known
[Chorus]

The constellations only penciled us in
do you promise to stay my best friend?
I still can’t understand the words that you say
just before you drift away
[back to verse]
When you're lost in that gray
i know im only ever dark to you
you don't hear a word I say
i hear your every whisper (x2-4)
[outro thing]
Verse with open B string and then first string 3rd fret (G my beloved)
IF I KNOW YOU WELL I WILL UNABASHEDLY EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF EVERY SINGLE LYRIC IN THIS SONG I PUT WAY TOO MUCH THOUGHT INTO THESE SHITTY LYRICS
“I turned around, there was nothing there, yeah I guess the end is near.”
But in a Wylan Van Eck staring out into the canal after making it to the barrel and realising that sometime during that swim, a part of him drowned and all that was left was the boy who was never fit to be his father’s son kind of way
