'I don't know what free is' taken from 'Iris Silver Mist' out 2nd May, via 4AD. I tried to ask “What is a performance?” What is to write? And who is telling it? When nobody wants to speak Someone wrote “... a performance is something that takes place, or, even better, someone who is present”. But I don’t know what it is in your case… … to be present … She wants to disappear, she wants to be ashes, musk, breath She has worked on it her whole life She has worked on it her whole life To resist, to exhale trying not to inhale too much “if I only breathe mostly out I will rid myself of myself” Sign me out of the digital earth Erase me from the brittle pages Write me out of your manuscript Open up your mouth Exhale me with your cigarette smoke Like you gave me life, now set me free I don’t know what free is but I think you do Take responsibility for your forms or maybe not
