about

Heartbreak leaves you empty inside. Through the walls, you can hear the sounds of a space that used to be yours.

lyrics

Sound filters through hairlines
Of floorboards and of panes
Moans and sighs that manifest
Ecstatic or profane
Hear the rattle of the hinges
The perk of lazy tea
The thumping bass of binges
Sitting next to me
Alone in the dark

The moan could be from chocolate
Dipping berries from the patch
The sigh, your fingers touching mine
The rattle, from your latch
A closet of vanilla
Your favorite evening smell
The thumping bass your soundtrack
I remember it so well
Alone in the dark

I thought we were perfect moments
Time had graced us with a gift
And if the world unmoored us
We could steer instead of drift

Now you're in the new apartment
Mouthing someone's words
You listen to the noises
Like the ones that I've just heard
And you cannot shake the feeling
Furniture's out of place
The ghost of what is missing
Howls around your face
Alone in the dark
