Genre: Dark, Depression, Emotional
The Distant Present Tense by Kelly Rice Press down hard on me
Press-down-hard
On my spineless backbone
Starched and hollow
Invest all you've got now dear cuz-
Im in too deep-I'm in too far now
Sinking weightless in depths-
where no one is longing
where no-one is ensuring
(There's nothing to lose)
And its about this time now-around this time now-I go swirling in reverse-
Chasing the distant present tense
absolute / obsolete / absences
I found someone to love and I pressed against his torso-
He went down on the floor-I went with him
