Ashes sleep on the window frame
Crumpled notes whisper my name
The ceiling leaks, like bleeding veins
I trace the cracks, they spell your face

All these ghosts wear my clothes
Breathing dust from broken hopes
I light a match just to see
If the shadows still bleed for me
This room smells like yesterday
Like all the things I threw away
Perfume of regret and rain
Stained on the walls, carved in my brain
And I
I can't wash it out
I can't burn it down
It just stays, it just stays

Photographs with hollow eyes
Screaming through the alibis
I breathe it in, it tastes like rust
Love decays and turns to dust

I lit the past, but it won’t ignite
Dead stars flicker in plain sight
The silence hums, the static sings
I drown in the echoes of everything

This room smells like yesterday
Like all the words we didn’t say
Cigarette burns on my skin
Remind me where we used to begin
It never leaves
It never fades
This room smells like yesterday
Faded shoes by the window pane
Your shadow's stitched in drops of rain
We carved our names on broken walls
Two stray ghosts, waiting for the fall

You were the storm inside my skin
A quiet fight no one could win
Hands full of tremors, lips full of dust
You slipped through cracks, like all of us

Needles in the rain, you fade, you fade
Cold rivers wash your name away
No more high, no more pain
Just needles in the rain

Torn bedsheets, fluorescent blues
I heard the echoes, but not the truth
We shared a cage, called it a home
Two shattered mirrors, scared and alone

I wore your laughs like second skin
But light burns out where dark begins
You left your marks on time and bone
And disappeared like smoke like stone

Needles in the rain, you fade, you fade
Cold rivers wash your name away
No more high, no more pain
Just needles in the rain needles in the rain
And maybe now
You're finally clean
Maybe now
You're just a dream

Needles in the rain
Just needles in the rain
