I found the light in the quiet; in the spaces between you and I. in the basement i was enraged but i kept it inside. and i tried but you were vacant i wish you would shake me and take me aside walking in silence letting the pavement finally decide. there's a light in your heart i can see that it's there even when it's not there there's a car in the fog on the bridge it's clear go check your face in the mirror are your eyes still tired are your lips still chapped have your teeth grown straight is your tongue held back. there's a hole in your hand it's the size of everyone you ever tried to hold on to if it came down to you or me i think you're better off alone if it came down to you or me i think i'm better off alone

i think i saw the ghost of the summer pass as light streams under the floorboards everybody's lying about the broken hearts buried alive in the courtyard Who could love you? you couldn't stop talking about the silver sleeves that you left somewhere in harlem i tried to wrap our bodies up in all of the leaves so i could hide us from the autumn who couldn't love you? I saw you leading the motorcade to the riot machine guns running quietly in the night diamonds guns and gold all the things that i sold when i heard your voice in the choir if you want to hold somebody closer to you you gotta hold em up to the fire couldn't stop singing about a silvery city that runs through your blood like a wire i think i heard a voice in breathing machine say that all we need is desire
