She echoes in his room
In the way only the empty ones can

Long after she's gone

You said jump in
And my bare skin burned
In the front seat

You said almost beautiful
And I watched every mirror
To find what was missing

You said use your words
And I used them all
Until my tongue was numb

You said straighten up
And my kinks were flat
against that hardwood floor

You said I liked make believe
And I knew
To go along with the story

When I was fifteen
They said I was young
And I felt younger still

morning light
cuts my soul
gently divides
lost from whole

I want to lick
Your disappointment

Taste your bitter

I wonder,
If I were born to walk the moon,
Would you shoot for me?

The halves that made me
Left me only pieces
To make my whole
