NIGHTSHADE

[Verse 1]
The dent in the drywall is shaped like the Carolina coast
Where you threw my dad's pawn-shop Telecaster
You missed my head, but you came pretty close
Just another beautiful disaster

[Chorus]
We grow nightshade in the window box
Say the things that stop the clocks
Yeah, our love's a different kind of bloom
Poison thriving in a quiet room

[Verse 2]
You said, "You're just a vine that strangles everything you hold"
Felt the kitchen floorlin' turn November-cold
But you're the one who taught me how to grow in the shade
Said my anger was a root, not just some rusty blade

[Chorus]
We grow nightshade in the window box
Say the things that stop the clocks
Yeah, our love's a different kind of bloom
Poison thriving in a quiet room

[Bridge]
In the silence, breathing dust motes in the gray
It's the deep end of the quarry, and we both decided to stay

[Chorus]
We grow nightshade in the window box
Say the things that stop the clocks
Yeah, our love's a different kind of bloom
Poison thriving in a quiet room

[Outro]
There's a dent in the drywall
And you're still answering my call
