lyrics

You take your measure in the mirror. You give the widest smile you can muster. And just like that, it accentuates how ravaged your face looks these days. The hospital smell is coming from you. You tuck your hair behind your ear. Rewind the tape to the afternoon when you were so posed, draped across his couch. Brace yourself against the wall. Know that you won't sleep tonight. Tell yourself it's not a hold in one, which you knew when it was through. The faint imprint of someone's body left upon an unmade bed. Ghosts and shadows of those still alive. Pull your drapes for your own sake. Looking at your face like the first time. Like a puzzle that you have to solve soon. Like an obligation you just took on against your will tonight.

You pushed your fists in your pockets and stood there a long time staring. You clenched your jaw and relaxed, hesitated and then took a few steps.

Do you think about your dad still all the time? The neon sign reflected in unfocused eyes. What will you reply? Sister sighs, "I'm done playing this game."
