Lyrics
The Girard trolley hums its steady B-flat drone.
The instrument tray is the kitchen counter stone.
I rehearse the silence, practice being alone.
A clean excision, right down to the bone.
The draft from the window feels anesthetic-cold on my skin.
It is Tuesday, 3:19 AM, the night I let it win.
[Chorus]
This is the prognosis, a clean and final break.
I'm learning the new shape my own two hands will make.
[Verse 2]
There's your jacket, a suture on the chair-back's spine.

This is the prognosis, a long and sterile ache.
Still learning the new shape my own two hands will make.
[Bridge]
Gussie would've used a root, some brackish-water prayer.
Philly gives you stitches and a sterile bed of air.
[Outro]
Just the prognosis...
The shape my hands will make.
