Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Your coffee cup still on the sink

Lip print faint

Like it might blink

Drawers half-open

Shirts on the chair

Whole house holding its breath in the air

I talk to doors you used to slam

Argue with the mirror

Call you by name

Every hallway

A failing lung

Every step

Like I weigh a ton

[Chorus]

There’s a black thread in my throat

I keep choking on your ghost

Every word I try to say

Turns to ashes anyway

I’m alive

But breaking slow

In the shape you left below

If this is love after you go

It’s just pain with nowhere to go

[Verse 2]

Your side of the bed’s still cold and flat

I sleep on the edge

Scared of all that

Space you took

Then gave back fast

Like the future was made of glass

Friends say “time

” like it’s a drug

Like the clock hands hand out hugs

But the seconds cut

They carve your name

Tiny knives doing big-scale damage

[Chorus]

There’s a black thread in my throat

I keep choking on your ghost

Every word I try to say

Turns to ashes anyway

I’m alive

But breaking slow

In the shape you left below

If this is love after you go

It’s just pain with nowhere to go

[Bridge]

[Ambient guitars swell

Drums drop to tom-heavy pulse]

I still hear you

In the quiet

In the crack

Between my eyelids (hey)

I still see you

In the riot

Of the nights

I can’t keep silent

[Harsh vocal]

You tore out the sun

Left a silhouette stain

I scrape at my skin just to feel your name

If healing is real

Why’s it burning this bad?

Why does “moving on” feel exactly like collapse?

[Clean vocal reply]

You’re a scar I trace in the dark

Half a wound

Half a work of art

I hate that I love what we lost

I’m counting the cost

I’m counting the cost (oh)

[Chorus]

There’s a black thread in my throat

I keep choking on your ghost

Every word I try to say

Turns to ashes anyway

I’m alive

But breaking slow

In the shape you left below

If this is love after you go

It’s just pain with nowhere to go

[Outro]

So I fold your name into my bones

Walk this world like a cracked gravestone

If grief is just love with nowhere left to run

Then I’ll bleed in the dark ‘til I grow a new sun
