lyrics

You're a drive-by shooting in a quiet place
You're a loved pet in a shallow grave
There were children playing in busy streets
but you insisted on following me

I am my sister drying out on the lawn
I am the palms of my father burned raw
I am the stones that all my grandfathers gave
but you are my mother's voice calling my name

I bury boxsprings in the back of the yard
I sleep in tunnels when the floors are too hard
I left my favorite jacket on your bedroom floor
and you couldn't help but to tear through the drawers

You dream in day-glo in the rear of the car
You climb trees just to stare at the stars
You stood in silence as it started to rain
but I still remember the taste of your name

Have I told you how it sounded
when my father used to to say,

"Don't be afraid."
