Perfunctory

take these ashes & open wide
there’s nothing left to burn
there’s nothing left to swallow
it’s just you & me tonight

an empty house
the stars above
alone
alone
alone
alone

take these scars & carve your heart
there’s nothing left to bleed
there’s nothing left to picture
we’ve fractured & we’re falling apart

an empty sky
no stars above
alone
