Wax Poetic

She always seems to color me
The only shade she couldn’t see
I am transparent, I am a ghost
A grain of sand on the Sunshine Coast
And I woke up today
And figured I’d burn everything
That made me think of you
And the saddest part is
I was left with nothing
By the time that I was through
You had me like the first breath of a Midwest autumn evening
As the sunset fades to cold air to freeze the evergreens
So can we take some time to redefine what it is you thought you’d find
Because when you left that night, you left me behind
I woke up today
And figured I’d burn everything
That made me think of you
And the saddest part
Is I was left with nothing
You were fibers in the thread that stitched demons in my head
The reason I’ll drink on my own tonight instead
I never thought three beautiful words
Would have a grip so tight. You crippled my throat
You crippled my throat
She always seems to color me
The only shade she couldn’t see
I am transparent
Transparent as a ghost
