Gleam

from Good Boy by Joplin Rice

lyrics

you were my friend
you were my only defense
when i was hollow you put the light back in
but now you see
i'm just a haunted machine that gleams & glistens
but it is not what it seems

if it takes all day
i'll make you throw me away
i won't be cradled by what i create
but now you smile
you're with your own kind
you're not imprisoned & you are not mine

weekday barricade
okay what now?
let's steal everything that's not tied down
you cut your hand
i put the bandage back in place & you smiled
you cut your hand: an accident
i loved you then & i love you now
