lyrics

Bracing for the oncoming storm
In a warehouse where nothing stays warm.
Plywood on the windows and blankets under the doors.

Remnants of a party long gone
Just some frozen amber in the lawn
We braved the cold and went outside
Without our shoes on.

Unsure of what comes next,
But I can see it.
I know it doesn't exist.

Your pulse was hidden under a sheet
The grapevines clutching to the heat
You said "Why don't we even try something?"

So I bit my tongue and tasted copper
You used the blood to practice your penmanship
In a broken script.

I told you about the deer ghost.
It crossed the meadow and leapt over the road.
You bowed your head in the candlelight and froze.

I was looking at the ghost at George Washington Post
As it was waiting for me to come home
But when the morning comes it's understandable
Just a drawing pinned to the window.
