Regret

Morning pry the windows open Let in what's so terrifying Summer is as faded as a lone cicada call Memories so bright I gotta squint just to recall Regret the words I've bitten More than the ones I ever said Who's the one animal All by yourself, all of us All of us All of us Who's the one animal All by yourself, all of us Who's the one animal All by yourself, all of us I'm afraid of heaven because I can't stand the heights I'm afraid of you because I can't be left behind Oh well, there's a red moon rising The door slammed and it felt like a cannonball Who's the one animal All by yourself, all of us Who's the one animal All by yourself, all of us All of us All of us --- Regret - St. Vincent
