I've learned to read the night
And when I am weak I've learned to not speak
Like those faces basked in white
Alone in dark rooms with a checklist marked "soon"
But the night has grown so old
As I'm left to dream of those faces on screens
And the lifetimes that they hold
That burn into sand with a movement of hands
So if you see me
Bark like a drum
Far or near I'll know you're hear
And I'll hear bells I'll know that you've rung
Far or near I'll know you're with me now
Your shadow follows through town
It folds into mine in this solid black line
But each time I turn around
I just see the breaths I held with each step
So I raise my hands to the sky
I long to be caught by some forgotten thought
That's been swirling round your eyes
When you walk by old homes or are lying alone
So if you see me
Bark like a drum
Far or near I'll know you're hear
And I'll hear bells I'll know that you've rung
Far or near I'll know you're with me now
But my mother was right when she said I was young
I'm learning to deal with that now
And cracks on the floors will still grow if you're gone
They don't care if you're not around
If you hate this meaning of mine
Well yes I agree I would rather not see
Every footstep left behind
But I just do my best with what I've got left
