the backyard looked sick in the afternoon dead grass stitched to the bottoms of my feet i tied white ribbons around my wrists like little surrender flags for nobody to see the television swallowed all the light its black screen humming soft like a bruise i leaned my head against the static hoping it would say your name just once just once chorus everything flickers when i think of you broken channels in a pale grey room rabbit heart beating under winter skin i still let your ghost crawl in through the wires through the snow through the silence nobody knows everything flickers when i close my eyes dust and halos and suburban skies you disappeared so beautifully now every empty thing looks holy to me i knelt beside the dying weeds while the wind bent all the trees sideways the world felt old and unfinished like somebody paused a movie and forgot to come back my hair covered my face like mourning lace the screen stayed dark for hours but i swore i saw your outline there soft as cigarette smoke soft as bad reception chorus everything flickers when i think of you broken channels in a pale grey room rabbit heart beating under winter skin i still let your ghost crawl in through the wires through the snow through the silence nobody knows everything flickers when i close my eyes dust and halos and suburban skies you disappeared so beautifully now every empty thing looks holy to me outro the static sounded warmer than the house did so i stayed there kneeling in dead afternoon light waiting for the screen to love me back just a little before it went black again
