[Verse 1] The drip marks time Louder than a pulse in the neck Wet slate smells of old copper And the dark has a weight to it I’m pressing my palm to the wall Just to see if the stones push back Or if it’s just me Leaning on a ribcage not mine. [Pre-Chorus] The vapor rises up A white flag from my open mouth I am waiting for the warmth To tell me I’m still south of the frost line. [Chorus] But I’m a Gemini with a severed side Looking for a mirror in the pitch black One half is shivering The other half is already dead And the echo is the only thing That ever answers back Yeah, the echo is all there is. [Verse 2] Sunlight is a rumor Spread by the moss near the floor I try to sleep but the ground is teeth And the silence is a loud roar I wrap my arms around my own chest Tight enough to bruise Trying to mimic the feeling Of having something left to lose. [Bridge] My skin is turning grey to match the granite If I stay still long enough I’ll just be part of the planet Calcified Petrified Hollowed out inside. (Chorus) I’m a Gemini with a severed side Screaming for a mirror in the pitch black One half is shivering The other half is already dead And the echo is the only thing That ever answers back. The echo is the only thing. [Outro] It’s cold. God, it’s so cold.
