Lyrics

I recoil at every detail 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 brеath like folly chasing after death Until thе 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, "We were 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 Now Denver in winter dreams in a dull metallic blue It blacks out the honesty you were always overdue But if even just one word of this barstool prophecy rings true I'd like to watch the lights go out with you
