Lacuna (Erase Me)

(Intro) (Acoustic guitar strums, soft vinyl crackle) (Ethereal humming) (Verse 1) I saw you in the grocery line A shock of blue, a neon sign But the edges of your face are thin Like paper skin I’m living in I signed the papers, paid the fee To take the ‘you’ out of the ‘me’ A hollow heart, a clean slate Now I’m running just a little late. (Chorus) Oh, meet me in Montauk, one last time Before the morning breaks the line I’m hiding you in childhood halls Behind the cracks, between the walls Don’t let the lights go out just yet I’m not ready to forget. (Verse 2) The library is losing books The memory of how you look Is dissolving like a sugar cube In a bitter cup of solitude We’re driving backwards through the snow To places only we could know Wait, I want to keep this fight Keep the ghost of us tonight. (Chorus) So meet me in Montauk, one last time Before the morning breaks the line I’m hiding you in childhood halls Behind the cracks, between the walls Don’t let the lights go out just yet I’m not ready to forget. (Bridge) (Music swells, then turns glitchy and distorted) Delete the winter, delete the car Delete the way I know who you are It’s vanishing, it’s going gray Please, let me keep just one more day! (Beat drops out) Just... let me keep this one. (Guitar Solo - Melodic and Sad) (Outro) (Softly) Okay? Okay. (The sound of waves crashing) A spotless mind, a lonely view I’m waking up... To someone new. (Fade to silence)
