Ghost Threads

[Intro]
[Verse]
Two forty-seven on the clock
Jasmine tea upon the rock
Sitting on the rusted rail
Fog is looking thin and pale
Cold ceramic in my palm
Searching for a bit of calm
Shadows dance upon the floor
I don't want it anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
I touch the fabric of the sleeve
The ghost of what I won't leave
There’s a mark where your ring stayed
Before the whole picture frayed
[Chorus]
It’s a slow-motion fall
Against this brick wall
I’m intoxicated by the past
Knowing that it couldn't last
In the D minor rain
I’m nursing the stain
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, let it linger)
(Around my finger)
Tracing the lines
Reading the signs
[Verse]
Thrift-store hoodie, worn and gray
Wishing I could make you stay
The sub-bass hits a heavy note
Lump is rising in my throat
Rhodes are looping in the air
I can feel you everywhere
Muted horns begin to cry
Underneath a hazy sky
[Chorus]
It’s a slow-motion fall
Against this brick wall
I’m intoxicated by the past
Knowing that it couldn't last
In the D minor rain
I’m nursing the stain
[Bridge]
Bitter leaves and heavy breath
Loving you to quiet death
The fire escape is getting wet
I haven't found my rhythm yet
Maybe this is just the end
Learning how to finally bend
[Breakdown]
(Breathe in the smoke)
(Let the heart soak)
Just the rain and me
And the jasmine tea
[Chorus]
It’s a slow-motion fall
Against this brick wall
I’m intoxicated by the past
Knowing that it couldn't last
In the D minor rain
I’m nursing the stain
[Outro]
