Emily Haines
"Sprig"

Fresh, fresh when sleeping meant every other night
Falling asleep for the fifth time early in the morning
Falling asleep for the fifth time early in the morning

Awake in terror, words staring back at him, never to be used
Their hands on hold
So quiet, they could hear each other's thinking, denying
Garner interest, each other's thinking, denying
Garner interest

Making of life, a forged painting
Life's big magnet tug-tugging
Making of life, a forged painting
Life's big magnet tug-tugging
And listeners like you
And listeners like you
And listeners like you
And listeners like you
