imagined life

Lately you’ve been gathering fragments
Pictures, anecdotes
All in the hopes of substance quieting echoes
Ghosts who’ve kissed your hand then
Cut your throat
'Cause maybe then her love could sleep
In autumn starlight
Cold and deep
But still the bombs drop every night
Imagined life
Imagined life
Honing these questions like sharpening knives
Lined up like X-ray machines in my mind
A man in a room and a girl in the sky
Why can’t you just try
Why can’t you just try?
I’ll stay silent if you want me to Swear I’ve never heard of you
No one needs to know
I’m just an apparition who fatally imagined you
Motives of my own
I’ll stay silent if you want me to Swear I’ve never heard of you
No one needs to know
I’m just an apparition who fatally imagined you
Motives all my own
