Pregnant Whale Pain - My Name

I’m grinning as I write this on my hand
Any change is a win when there’s nothing you have
I’ll be what I pretend – it only takes a step
I’m gonna fake it until I become it

You hate me ’cause I beat you in your game
Yet you need someone to teach you how to play
Never bet on my thoughts ’cause they might fade
Dive in me, you might see them change their shape

Be my fulfilled desire
I’m tired being yours
Keep the bed on fire
Until it melts and flows
Then I’ll write my name in your fluid sheet

Once it’s dry you’ll never get it out of it
My eyes resting on your soul
Your lungs gasping for breath
The syncopated truth is poisoned spears through your ribs
You have yet to learn you’re the one who’ll end up stranded
