kiernan norman - you look like someone who dies alone lyrics
[verse]
at dinner, you carved our initials
in the table like we were kids
who couldn’t handle paper
and when you kissed my forehead in that bar
it felt like the closest thing to a war
who else deciphers you?
who else lets you be this cruel?
you laughed like nothing ever stays
while the room held its breath—
thousands of ways to break
none of them mine
you lit a cigarette, exhaled
my name, said love is just another
bruise to frame. played elliott smith
until the vinyl screamed. the room went hollow
i stayed, half+dreamed
i’ve memorized the script you bleed
still call it poetry, sharp and obscene
each line i write pulls t++th
but silence is a grave too deep
and i’m not ready to be buried
the skyline’s fading into bruised blue
and i keep writing about you
if i ever make it big
i’ll tell them the truth:
i sold my soul to the ghost of you
[refrain]
your eyes were glass;
your hands, stone
you look like someone
who dies alone
who else watches you rot so sweet?
who else begs to sit at your feet?
you kissed like a guillotine—
cold and clean—
said nothing’s sacred
not even dreams
you pressed your hands to my ribs
sighed like a wave that knew it would drown
said, “i wonder what breaks first—
the cage or the tide?
does the cage crack open
or does the tide betray?
which one admits they wanted it that way?”
you laughed like the question wasn’t insane
and i felt both collapse
in the back of my brain
the tide swallowed the cage;
the cage choked the tide
and i stood in the wreckage
of what neither survived
as they broke, i saw it clear:
neither could win—
only disappear
and i keep writing you
line after line
a hymn to the hurt
i still call mine
if i ever make it big
they’ll read every verse
and know i traded my best
for your worst
[refrain]
here’s to the ruins
we called our own—
the table we carved
the war we’ve known
your eyes were glass;
your hands, stone
you look like someone
who’s already gone
