Iâm still struggling with what comes next. Yeah, Iâm all talk when I say Iâll start to drink less, and that time I said that Iâd be better off, it counts for nothing when actionâs already said enough.
Love lost its flavour on a burned tongue, like bourbon burns in poems inside of virgin lungs.
And mine, they were screaming for blood, but no one was listening.
But while that heat held our hearts in its throes, with dirty water and ash in our bones, to plant our hope and watch what grows our Southeast Summer, a withered rose.
And to your West Coast flashing of lights, to that Pacific blue ghost in your eyes, to the collision at Blonde and the past, I whispered âdonât come backâ.
Itâs not enough to simply let it lay, to say youâre sorry or to stay away, you try to bury your spite beneath the arid soil but you canât kill the roots when theyâve already taken hold.
And to your west coast flashing of lights, to that Pacific Blue ghost in your eyes, to the collision at Blonde and the past, I whispered âdonât come backâ.
And to your flights back east, Ohio Valley retreats, to the collision at Blonde in the past, donât remember, donât come back.
And if time wonât heal, then I donât know what will. Lifeâs too long to wait and tell, Kentucky straight on a wound that will not ever heal.
And to your west coast flashing of lights, to that Pacific Blue ghost in your eyes, to the collision at blonde in the past.
Donât remember, donât come back.
