The calendar hung itself

[00:00.00] Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head?

[00:06.06] And does he sing to you incessantly from the space between your bed and wall?

[00:10.84] Does he walk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes?

[00:14.57] Looking down every few steps to pretend he walks with you.

[00:19.07] Does he know that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched

[00:22.82] And does he cry through broken sentences like I love you far too much?

[00:28.07] Does he lay awake listening to your breath?

[00:32.07] Worried that you smoke too many cigarettes.

[00:36.33] Is he coughing now on a bathroom floor?

[00:40.07] For every speck of tile there are a thousand more

[00:44.79] That you won't ever see but most hold inside yourself eternally.

[00:52.82] I drug your ghost across the country and we plotted out my death.

[00:59.54] In every city, memories would whisper: "Here is where you rest."

[01:03.27] I was determined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my knees

[01:06.79] And I settled for a telephone and sang into your machine.

[01:11.81] You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

[01:19.51] You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

[01:27.52] I kissed a girl with a broken jaw that her father gave to her.

[01:31.04] She had eyes bright enough to burn me. They reminded me of yours.

[01:35.03] In a story told she was a little girl in a red-rouge,

[01:37.32] Sun-bruised field and there were rows of ripe tomatoes where a secret was concealed.

[01:43.51] And it rose like thunder, clapped under our hands.

[01:51.04] And it stretched for centuries to a diary entry's end where I wrote,

[01:59.04] You make me happy whoa! When the skies are gray

[02:07.79] You make me happy whoa! The skies are gray and gray and gray.

[02:13.75] Well the clock's heart it hangs inside its open chest with its hands

[02:20.03] Stretched towards the calendar hanging itself but I will not weep for those dying days.

[02:26.01] For all the ones who have left there are a few that stayed.

[02:30.27] And they found me here and pulled me from the grass where I was laid.
