I cut my lungs on the night air And breathed you in, wondering what you’d think Of the sad songs living in my head All the somber things I haven’t written yet Pessimistic optimist, my hope isn’t quite dead yet Despite the ***** shovel, nails and casket Midnight prayers find their way Slithering past my teeth Whispered, breath to hide underneath As honest as ill ever be Unsure if there is anything for it to mean Death cab on repeat Its been stuck in the car stereo for weeks Don’t think I’d take it out if I could It’s finally starting to sound like me Smile and kiss beneath streetlights Parking lot conversations give my anxiety chase Following the fog our laughter makes Trying to fill the silence before my inevitability Crashes back in our way And I remember that you’re leaving And I still have to stay Death cab on repeat Been stuck in the car stereo for weeks Just like me -e
