we can learn a new language,
work in the garden after work.
try to organize the symptoms,
i can't seem to bury the thirst.
and i can't ignore the silence,
almost everyone i know is gone.
but those songs we used to lean against,
i can't believe they stuck around so long.
i never meant to go dark,
i thought the signal would stay in one spot.
no i never meant to go dark,
become the useless tune that floats in your heart.
i try to understand the difference,
i try to stay awake all day.
while voices i've granted substance
stand in the yard begging me to play.
we can dance through the fear,
breaking bread in the gathering dusk.
we can burn through the year,
hanging by these mechanisms of luck.
i never meant to go dark,
i thought the signal would stay in one spot.
no i never meant to go dark,
become the useless tune that floats in your heart.
i will come home and remember how to speak,
drown the ash cloud that surrounds me.
i will come home and remember how to speak,
drown the ash cloud in your singing.
