All Caps

We were driving down from mercury when the radio broke
You were still such a goddamn long way from home
I kicked the dashboard hard 29 times and turned every knob
For a second there was static
I never saw so many stars at night when i still lived on earth
Nobody down there tells you being lost out here’s got its perks
Sat by the side of the road to take a breath
Told you sometimes i dream that your ribcage caves in on your heart
And i wake up in a cold sweat
I suppose this is what you get
When you train your brain to be an acrobat
And the last thing i ever said to you was your name in all caps, in all caps
I’d like to meet you again at the personal space bar for a glass of lemonade
I can sit on the other side of the room with my numbers about mortality rates
Got coins for the jukebox, i heard they got some classic static
I’ll pretend that i can dance to this, it’s nothing short of magic
They can say what they want bout pushing up daisies, i’ve been seeing a lot of
you lately
Mostly in other people’s faces, the ways they move through crowded spaces
What’s closer, jordan or styx?
Dive down for the heck of it
It’s all just water, it’s warmer than i expected
Connect, connect, connect
And i wake up in a cold sweat
I suppose this is what you get
When you train your brain to be an acrobat
And the last thing i ever said to you was your name in all caps, in all caps
The last damn thing, then they cut the strings
And my insides break and they float downstream
The last damn word is just broken noise
Water washes over soft-spoken boys
We don’t pick up when it rings and rings
There’s no good in what this ringing means
The last damn thing, the last damn thing
Come on, abyss, take this wedding ring
