What you have marked
and how
is like a trail behind
you now

trail baby
trailer baby
your no
and my maybe

I knew
how to use it
how to lose it
I saw you
abuse it

my bruise
your muse
our different understanding
of what it is to chose

and in the bright light
of after
how to chase
away the blues

and the meme
and the ruse
and between us
how to blow
the fuse

its because of the name
you never gave to me
and because of the lie
that was supposed to set me free

hey hey baby
you said it was me
and what of it now
and what should it be

drill baby
trail baby
my yes
and your maybe

and I took it
and I broke it
and I love you
and I revoke it

and there are letters
and crying
and names we will lay to rest

and the title
I will paint along the sky
a title
in a record office
where I erased your name
and wrote over it
with someone else’s

what I have marked
and how
like the future
behind me now
