Laura's Invention - To the Grand Lyrics

She brought a kitten to The Grand
Evoking memories of fragile broken trust and weekend plans
It slept for hours in the popcorn can
White cheddar paw prints cross her skin without the power in his hands
Suitably shocking
It wasn't the first time
It was easier when she was young
She smokes in the bathroom after 10
The sash propped nonchalant upon the numb reminder in her wrist
His fingers press her neck again
She starts with confidence inconsequential self-effacing lists
Suitably shocking
It wasn't the first time
It was easier when she was young
She envisioned a light
The scars remind her
She has a kitten
She has a plan
They sit for hours on the sofa
Maybe it's the night to find release
Suitably shocking
It's not the first cut
It was easier when she was young
Easier when it's all done
