Haunt

Take yourself apart from me

Down into a flame

You’re everything one could keep

You’re worn with every face

Rapping like a scarecrow’s wings, you unwind

I’m thrown to a seamless wave

And it’s written on a sea of love

And it’s all I can leave you babe

‘Cause the world was never yours

I just keep playing that restless haunt

Nothing I can change

Swallow what’s still brave in you

Like metal in your jaw

Trying not to melt away

Beginning to unthaw

Dead flag, ship of fools you command

I’m trying not to wither away

And I’m wondering if I’ll feel the grace

I’m trying to unlove this world

But it has no other place

I just keep playing that empty hand

Nothing I can cheat

Can you touch?

Can you stay?

Would you weep

For the day?

You knew when your eyes closed

But you knew when your eyes closed

Can you want?

Can you stay?

Would you reach

Around me?

Light another melody

And drown into the sound

I’ve buried every living thing

Deeper than the ground
