lyrics

The death of summer gave us new life
Those first words were sharper than a knife
Never felt anything like that before
didn’t seem to mind Mondays anymore

Spent so many nights waiting for dawn,
leaving flowers for those long gone
friends left aboard that sinking ship

Didn’t think I could take another winter,
a tumultuous flame reduced to a flicker
on a dying wick.

I did not want to be put out

Spring forward; ghosts on the corner,
frozen hearts can only get warmer
let the blood flow

Amend, befriend the undead
you might need ‘em in the end
let the past go

I have been channeling ghosts

Finally had an outlet
to let out the finality
But I’ve come to see
some ends aren’t permanent
despite the means
We may meet again.

Autumn’s life brought about our death
