lyrics

You were older
Older than me
Sucking in a sponge as your cancerous lungs tried to breathe

In late October,
When daughter Maria comes
And she’s sitting on the edge of the hospital bed that you’ll leave us on

And when it’s all over
Will you forget what I’ve said?
Whatever memorial is carved over Amy’s head

Bobby’s coming with you, even though she says you’re mean
Will you face it in the corner, corner where I smoke my weed?
Ate flowers in the winter, wondering what I think you’d say
Well Bobby’s coming with you even if my wings might break

And old Tascosa,
Is lying on my back
While I’m twitching my legs like the spider crawling from the bed to the bathroom

And the pelican’s neck
Left its shape on the bed
When I tried to memorize all the words you said and the way that you said them

Bobby’s coming with you,
Even though she says you’re mean
While you’re kneeling just to take some weight off of your swollen feet
Ate flowers in the winter,
Wondering what I did that for
Well Bobby’s coming with you, you don’t have to say anymore

Wistfully openhearted and incisive, Velasquez tips the fulcrum between reflection and remedy with melody-forward unction and lyrical tenderness. ... more
