Retirement from Retirement by H A N N A H B A N D

RETIREMENT

After ten years of banging / my head against the wall
I have a perpetual headache and a ringing in my ears
The mornings after / are getting harder / much harder than before
but i still find myself waking up in my pants and shoes on strangers kitchen floor

I still get the shakes / when i talk
my hands fidget / my back hurts
This is letting go

This is letting go / instead of giving up
retirement of an idea that we loved so much
Cliches like ‘two to tango’ they start to ring true
I have no idea what happened to me and you

I still get the shakes / when i talk
my hands fidget / my back hurts
this is letting go

We don’t need seclusion
we’re lonely more than enough
but i will not give you the means to hurt the things i love

This is cathartic / I really need this
It is so much more than / hot headed screaming

This is letting go / instead of giving up
retirement of an idea that we loved so much
cliches like ‘two to tango’ they start to ring true
I have no idea what happened to me and you
