no homes for ghosts

i know what it's like to fade away
in thin air or in your brightest night
a heart can feel like murder locked in your chest
or pressed against your throat just right

our blood will burn through our bodies
till we're tuckered out and stretched thin
we'll tug all the leaves from the branches, the trees
the air is freezing on my seaside skin

your voice slightly shakes like it's caught in the rain
and the coast rolls on and never ends
i feel like a ghost with no air in my lungs
so i'll paint my eyes white instead

all your winter-clothes left the deepest marks
you're white and still like a stone by the shore
we could live alone, all grey like the snow
but our broken bones left trails far from home

lay awake like a child
with a diamond in your chest
with winter on your wrists
let your golden eyes slowly close with mine
i can't believe i'm alive again
