lyrics
walked the block alone tonight
in the side of my sight
I still pass you
my sky is dust and Mars
I don’t know where you are
so I'll ask you
cold air cut with grief
too thin to breathe
I can’t grasp you
shards of a final scene
furrowed into me
oh my Matthew
can't take that you're a story
I need you to be real
can't take that you're a story
I need you to be real
our home a dusty shrine
only creaks are mine
brittle flowers
you taught me how to swim
I’m foundering
at this hour
out front we’d set the sun
loveseat for one
can I face this?
carve M into the floor
by the kitchen door
can’t erase us
can't take that you're a story
I need you to be real
can't take that you're a story
I need you to be real
I don't ask why you died
there’s just no reason for the way things go
hopes turn and cars collide
who am I to be now? I cannot know
in the side of my sight
I still pass you
my sky is dust and Mars
I don’t know where you are
so I'll ask you
cold air cut with grief
too thin to breathe
I can’t grasp you
shards of a final scene
furrowed into me
oh my Matthew
can't take that you're a story
I need you to be real
can't take that you're a story
I need you to be real
our home a dusty shrine
only creaks are mine
brittle flowers
you taught me how to swim
I’m foundering
at this hour
out front we’d set the sun
loveseat for one
can I face this?
carve M into the floor
by the kitchen door
can’t erase us
can't take that you're a story
I need you to be real
can't take that you're a story
I need you to be real
I don't ask why you died
there’s just no reason for the way things go
hopes turn and cars collide
who am I to be now? I cannot know
