Warmthless

Some people leave with noise

You left with heat

She wore silence like a fitted coat

Eyes too sharp to need a quote

I held words in a closed-up fist

Tried to speak, but the breath just missed

This ain't hurt-it's just low flame

Same old flat, but it don't feel the same

Still eat late on a window ledge

And talk to a name I ain't texted since

You call it love, I call it loud

Built a home where I'm not allowed

Doors stayed locked, but I slept outside

Still warm-blooded, but the warmth don't ride

Truth in touch, but the script ran dry

Still trace the space where you used to lie

Eyes on freeze, but the soul still cried

Still warm-blooded... but I feel warmless inside

I don't chase what forgets my name

But I do replay when I'm off that train

Still feel her voice in my collarbone

Even now when I'm fully grown

Flat's got echoes, none that speak

And the light hits strange when I don't sleep

No calls now, just "seen" and air

But I swear that ghost still sits right there

You call it love, I call it loud

Built a home where I'm not allowed

Doors stayed locked, but I slept outside

Still warm-blooded, but the warmth don't ride

Truth in touch, but the script ran dry

Still trace the space where you used to lie

Eyes on freeze, but the soul still cried

Still warm-blooded... but I feel warmless inside
