I took out my old coat today
I haven’t worn it, it's been put away
But today, I broke
I pulled out my coat
Just around the house, I’d say
I won’t wear it outside or during the day
Just for a moment, I’ll let it encase me
Waste me
But I drift away in it
I hide my face in it
I begin to suffocate in it
But it feels like silk on my skin
I don’t want to break it
