lyrics

I met K in a dark bar, on a dark night
See I was in a dark place
She was brilliant, she was bright
Desperate for connection, or newfound affections
Gossamer reflections, my lessons … I always forget them

Broken ribs
Torn apart
But I got heart

The lumens and soft light
Deer in the headlights
I’ll take what I want now
I’ll learn what I’m made of
A lonesome connection, digital and fragile
We’re the saddest of animals
Even our Gods are fallible

There’s ice in the asphalt
Expands and collapses
Promises broken, ashes to ashes
There’s ice in the asphalt
Expands and collapses
Promises broken, ashes to ashes

Loving her is like catching a knife
Loving me is like taking lives
The sordid tales of husbands and wives

The separation of Adam
The splitting of atoms
The chasm we’ve created
Isolated … we’re phantoms
