Moon on the Fire Escape
A single red eye of an ashtray glow, cold coffee, and a silver stain leaking into my room from the fire escape. A dark, smoky story of how the shadows spell out your name every night, acting as a crooked witness to what we were before.

THE VERSES
Ashtray glow
one red eye
Coffee cold
but I still lie
Tell myself
"I'll quit you soon"
Stir the spoon
watch the spoon
Moon on the fire escape
leaning like it’s heard my case
Every shadow spelling out your name again
Matchbook with your number smeared
I call, I hang up, disappear
Moon on the fire escape
you always stay, you never stay
Window fan
cuts the smoke
Your old coat
on my chair, a joke
Half a glass
and half a heart
Same old end
same false start
Moon on the fire escape
leaning like it’s heard my case
Every shadow spelling out your name again
Matchbook with your number smeared
I call, I hang up, disappear
Moon on the fire escape
you always stay, you never stay
If I forget your face
will these streets forget my sin
If I kill the light
will the night let me back in (oh oh)
But there you are
silver stain across my floor
Same crooked witness
to what we were before
Moon on the fire escape
leaning like it’s heard my case
Every shadow spelling out your name again
Matchbook with your number smeared
I call, I hang up, disappear
Moon on the fire escape
you always stay, you never stay
