I Used to Love Watching My Breath Crystallize
by Surreal as Sunlight
It's a calm,
Mid-July night
And I've just turned out the light
In the moonlight I'll rest
Suddenly I can see my breath
And in the air there is death
And in the air there is death
The windows are sealed tight
And the willow branches are not swaying
I feel a drift to my right
There you are my beautiful, staying
And I thought you were gone
I've been getting on just fine so long
But now you've walked through the walls
Like it wasn't a thing at all
I built them with such strength
But to haunt me, you've come at any length
And you're singing
You’re singing my name
And you're calling
You're playing your game
So come lay here on the bed next to me
I'll pretend to hold your hand
I'll pretend I can feel your grip
And all my secrets, I'll let them slip
Come sleep in my arms tonight
So that I can wake up holding nothing
Just like every morning
And it's true, now you are nothing
But still, you haunt me, today
Please come haunt me, today.
