[Intro: Guttural, like a ghost]
“Oh god no, they don’t know the news he wrote”
[Verse 1: Melancholy]
“In an unmarked grave, I breathe when I lay low
The dial turns to dust, every frequency goes slow
In a house made of hollow, where the floorboards don’t hold
I’m carving your initials into things I never told”
[Pre-Chorus: Rebellion, fire]
“Shooting from the woods like the Fourth of July
Every spark hits the dark, but it don’t ask why”
[Chorus: Intimate, hopeful]
“Oh green eyes”
“Shooting from the woods like the Fourth of July
Every spark hits the dark, but it don’t ask why”
“Like I want just a chance, just to show you how
Keep the porch light burning, I’m approaching it now
I’m a queen in a things you miss, you miss most
[Echo:] All the things that you miss, you miss most”
[Verse 2: Time-loop]
“Time may change me, in a kingdom made of ghost you miss most
Time may change me, but I can’t change time
The calendar’s bleeding in a looped design
Getting clearer, not kind
I’m shouting at the shadow, but it answers, it answers in mine”
[Pre-Chorus: Rebellion, fire]
“Shooting from the woods like the Fourth of July
Every spark hits the dark, but it don’t ask why”
[Chorus: Intimate, hopeful]
“Oh green eyes”
“Shooting from the woods like the Fourth of July
Every spark hits the dark, but it don’t ask why”
“Like I want just a chance, just to show you how
Keep the porch light burning, I’m approaching it now
I’m a queen in a things you miss, you miss most
[Echo:] All the things that you miss, you miss most”
“I’m a queen in a kingdom made of ghost you miss most
[Bridge: Haunting & Distorted]
“Our love is a turtle, moving slow through the blur
If I cry all left and knew her
A palace in a chalice, or a callous in bone
I’m building up a garden from the seeds never sown”
[Outro: Surreal, fading]
“Prison is for you to visit and get out of
But the key’s in the kettle where the silence is enough
But the tea is turning gray
Prison is a postcard that you sent from yesterday.”
