lyrics

I recoil at every detail
In recounting all the sighs I’ve exhaled
I piece together the tale
In the tidelines of the ships that set sail
With notes tucked into pockets
Under wipers
Between sheets or bike spokes
And every couplet I wrote
The ephemera of past lives
Plastic trinkets
Artifacts that I stole
To feed the candle I hold

I held my breath like folly chasing after death
Until the only thing that’s left to do was run
I bit my tongue until my mouth was full of blood
Til everything and everyone I knew was gone

Now Denver in winter dreams in a dull metallic blue
It blacks out the bravery I am forever overdue
But if even just one word of this barstool prophecy rings true
I’d like to watch the lights go out with you

I’d believe you if you said I was already dead
There was no hope of rescue coming through
I can purge my heavy head of the specters in my bed
But the only one I dream about is you
