i can hear the stars scraping against the sky
Southwest
Gothic
weather vanes spinning wildly even though
there's no wind
sunsets bathing everything in saturated light before all the color disappears
old homesteads leaning to one side
everything covered in cobwebs
walking in the desert alone
but you're not alone
someone on the crest is crawling with you
waking up to the sound of a complete downpour but looking outside and it hasn't rained even a drop
your walls have eyes
and they've seen
sunsets bathing everything in saturated light before all the color disappears

Midwest
Gothic
abandon farms
silos that are slowly turning back into the earth
street lights that flicker as you pass them
empty streets in the middle of the night, but you still hear footsteps behind you
someone looking at you from a curtained window, then you blink and they’re gone
storm sirens at 2 AM
an old radio carackling on, even though no one touched it
the endless fields know your fears
silos that are slowly turning back into the earth
street lights that flicker as you pass them
empty streets in the middle of the night, but you still hear footsteps behind you
someone looking at you from a curtained window, then you blink and they’re gone
storm sirens at 2 AM
an old radio carackling on, even though no one touched it
the endless fields know your fears
Forget
the
lies
and
the
lies
that
you're
never
enough
'Cause you're alive and it's time to get over
yourself
I’m madly in love with the way you brush up against me
without knowing it
Well she walked away while her shoes were untied
while the eyes were all red YOU COULD SEE THAT WE’D CRIED
AND I WATCHED, AND I WAITED ‘TILL SHE WAS INSIDE
FORCING A SMILE AND WAVING GOODBYE
