Seven States Across

J. Tillman


there's a hammer in the wind
it falls and drives me in
there's a weight, a burden in your womb

there are seven states across
i'll never seen the ending of while i am young
before they take my legs

i can't watch my words at all
can't stand against the draw
there is honey in the lion
i can't slay it

now, the home that we live in
is a tree with broken limbs
there is fire in the ground

there's a way out
there's a way out
there's a way out
there's a way out
