Afterglow

from Giant Egg by Monster Furniture

lyrics

Suddenly it comes apart
The shell, the heart,
The ground beneath us
Even still I feel your breath
Unsettled debts
The whir of the machines

We are lost in outer space
Waiting out the days
Taste your ashes on the wind
Before it ends it stomps me out completely

Find you hiding in the grass
And in the glass refraction overhead
This is how it all plays out
The tiny house
The fever dreams alive

We are lost without the cage
Stray marks on a page
Then your cheeks go pallid gray
You drift away
And leave me to the excavation

Ask you for a gentle word
And in the dirt I write your name and wait
But this was all an accident
A star that sent its own explosive dust to cool

We are lost above the clouds
What will happen now?
Nothing grows of its own will
It holds until its habitat demands it
