Mateo.
There are so many things
that will change
just so you'll hear them
I want to tell you
the same thing
over and over again
you correct me
so gently
my beautiful lies
small white ones
like birds
the color that crows should be
these days seagulls
are attractive
they rarely seem to touch the ground
big blue ones
like the heron
they're lucky here
in Alaska it means
something when you see one
when there are two
it's an omen
listen to me
I may be lying
but doesn't that sound
good?
the part about herons
being lucky
together
the ravens here
thrive on our trash
create legends
like magpies and golden keys
but with popcorn, shit and piss
the lying is getting hard
there are times
where I don't look right at you
What I feel about you
is just a fraction of
who you are
that will change
just so you'll hear them
I want to tell you
the same thing
over and over again
you correct me
so gently
my beautiful lies
small white ones
like birds
the color that crows should be
these days seagulls
are attractive
they rarely seem to touch the ground
big blue ones
like the heron
they're lucky here
in Alaska it means
something when you see one
when there are two
it's an omen
listen to me
I may be lying
but doesn't that sound
good?
the part about herons
being lucky

create legends
like magpies and golden keys
