Halley

So scared you'll get sick, but not 'cause you'd be hurting
You will cease to exist before resembling a burden
Felt safe from above, you are Halley's Comet
To see you just once, I'd wait a lifetime, I promise

Terrified of reaching out when it's nothing you can say out loud
Don't tell me the worst will pass
Just how long the longing will last
All the mean bones in your body are dissolving
You're half as harmful when you leave
Pray your service lands on a leap year
You want no one to be there
Your ghost felt guilty when they grieved
And if these walls could talk
I think they'd start to question
Why I just stare at them all
So scared you'll get sick, but not 'cause you'd be hurting
You will cease to exist before resembling a burden
Felt safe from above (safe from above)
You are Halley's Comet
To see you just once, I'd wait a lifetime, I promise

Your greatest fear is someone taking care of you
But that's what I was made to do
Your freckles will disappear when the sun starts to set too soon
All the mean bones in your body are dissolving
You're half as harmful when you leave
Pray your service lands on a leap year
You want no one to be there
Your ghost felt guilty when they grieved
Do you take the credit or the blame (all the mean bones in your body are dissolving)
Whenever you hear my name?
Either way, you sculpted me as your own, oh (you're half as harmful when you leave)
Take the credit or the blame (pray your service lands on a leap year)
Whenever you hear my name (you want no one to be there)
Either way, you sculpted me as your own, oh (your ghost felt guilty when they grieved)
