Wax Poetic - Capstan

She always seems to color me

The only shade she couldn’t see

I am transparent, I am a ghost

A grain of sand on the Sunshine Coast

And I woke up today

And figured I’d burn everything

That made me think of you

And the saddest part is

I was left with nothing

By the time that I was through

You had me like the first breath of a Midwest autumn evening

As the sunset fades to cold air to freeze the evergreens

So can we take some time to redefine what it is you thought you’d find

Because when you left that night, you left me behind

I woke up today

And figured I’d burn everything

That made me think of you

And the saddest part

Is I was left with nothing

You were fibers in the thread that stitched demons in my head

The reason I’ll drink on my own tonight instead

I never thought three beautiful words

Would have a grip so tight.

You crippled my throat

You crippled my throat

She always seems to color me

The only shade she couldn’t see

I am transparent

Transparent as a ghost
