lyrics

The sidewalk turned gray
As dusk propelled
Last hues to the cars
All tightly packed
The sunset chilled earth’s crust
With tact
My nose and ears
Were numb and cracked

Honey spoke with stubborn speech
She spoke slowly on her feet
And I’m awkward now
A customary gift of opening up to me

Now, sit like a good boy
And go away ghost
Go away ghost

I was slightly drunk and inquisitive
Asked if I could have a drag of her cigarette
“You are not a man” she said
“You’re an anxious fish caught on sacred land

And I won’t let you off the hook
Your sadness is grossing me out of this house
Like a spirit who thinks I’m an heir of his spouse”
Go away ghost
Go away ghost

I’m so preoccupied with death
It’s why I don’t speak
I need to listen
I’m listening for your breath
Listening for your heart
Listening for the start of the end

I’m so preoccupied with death
I’m listening for your breath
Listening for your heart
Listening for the start of the end
