lyrics

Not quite t-shirt weather, early April still teases a warmth and then swaps it for a fickle chill. While the passengers on overcrowded subway cars confer, I count my steps from Catharine to Christian to Carpenter. There’s a string of backyard Christmas lights zip-tied to a chain-link fence that serves as a stand-in for tonight’s new audience.
So we cleaned up what we could and burnt the rest that night, completing the circle, turning trash into new light. It’s staying light later lately. I was wondering if you’d come meet me. A thousand tire treads as tick marks read as minor misjudgments, failing exit strategies that combine with dust and dirt and worn-out rubber, paint and tar to burn a path between my bedroom and the bar. It’s staying light later lately. I was wondering if you’d come meet me. And we soak in our solutions, bitter brown and clear, mapping an outline of the undulating every-year. And I shudder to think what I’ve missed when I’ve been buried in a screen, wondering who my eyes were supposed to meet.
