Grow into a Ghost - Swearin'

Press my head against the glass

Infinitesimal city streets

And for a moment I welcome the axiom

A transfixing breeze of relief

Sailboats littered in the Hudson

Today is Saturday

Cloudless people in sunglasses

The black glitter of New York City

I write you ceaselessly and abstracted

I hang out with old friends

And they unknowingly remind me

Of who I was before we met

You were somewhere out in the desert

You frame the natural light perfectly

Will you come back soon and

Let me love you completely?

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you grow into a ghost

While all the desperate people around me

Breathe life into objects with certainty

The likelihood of death in this very cab I’m in

Will be today’s undoing

All the desperate people just like me

Breathe life into objects with certainty

The likelihood of death on this corner I’m standing on will be my own undoing

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you

I watch you
