Iodine from 11:11 by Pinegrove

i swallow my pride
the animals outside
are loving in the humid day
light

i followed it inside
from room to room to try to
see if something catches me
right

but nothing i try
can abbreviate the time
can alleviate my mind

when
you
get
down
stay
down
way
down
weighed
down

when
you
get
down
stay
down
way
down
weighed
down

then later this week
i’ll leak a bit of iodine
from my eye like that brilliant
video

i’m spiraled up inside
my iridescent mind
is reaching up for something pure & or
actual

but nothing i try
can abbreviate the time
can alleviate my mind

when
you
get
down
stay
down
way
down
weighed
down

when
you
get
down
lay
down
way
down
weighed
down
