Bay Of Pigs

I'm trying to leave you aloe
But deep into my head you roam
Like a sick buffalo separated from the herd
Looking lost at every turn
You were following the migration of geese
And the grizzly bear hibernation
I think you want to fly away
Or sleep until the ice has melted
To come out of your cave
Woozy and out of shape
Not quite as brave
As when you once escaped.

Don't stay gone on account of me
Pride is a foolish belief.

I'm keeping tabs on myself
Watching what I say, watching my health
I'm impossible to reconstruct
Something that was always broken
Hollow bones will eventually bring you back.

We're all free to make our own mistakes
So don't take mine away.

Doubt crept in on its own
Like frostbite in the cold
Like hunters in the snow
With only phantom tracks to follow
From the bay of pigs
Deep into my head and underneath my ribs
You found a way inside
You found a way.

I'm waiting for the flying v
To return
I think I'm gonna find a cave
And sleep for 10,000 days.
