week sixteen: keep it down

keep it down

sheila goes around
sheila’s got a husband and she’s got a boy in town
i keep it down

now she’s stuck inside
she says all her brittle little bones are bound to die
i keep it down

all the love i know
ringing like a bell in the back of my throat
i keep it down

all my hiding out is over now
when they ask me why i'm back around
i say the flowers bloom like oooooooo
i keep it down
