lyrics

(2023)

She read me some of it. Not all of it. The parts she thought were kind.
"She's not ready." "Leave her." "She'll say it when she can."
Two years of four people being careful about me in a phone.

Read aloud, read aloud
Everything I thought was silence had words in it
Read aloud, read aloud
And every one of them was on my side

There is a message from August where somebody says
"I nearly said something at the barbecue."
And I remember that barbecue. I remember thinking nobody noticed.

Read aloud, read aloud
Everything I thought was silence had words in it
Read aloud, read aloud
And every one of them was on my side

Read aloud, read aloud
And every one of them was on my side

(2023...)
