Coyote Screen

[Verse 1]
Your name's still in my phone under 'Maja - Fleet Avenue'
The green dot went dark back in late July
Now a coyote cursor blinks in the digital blue
And my thumb hovers over it, calloused and dry

[Chorus]
You taught the stray dog how to come inside
Showed a night-hunting thing where to hide

[Verse 2]
"You just know the language of the broken gear," you said
Your coat by the door still smells like the lakefront cold
Now the only sound is the charger beside my bed
A story half-typed that will never get told

[Chorus]
You taught the stray dog how to come inside
Showed a night-hunting thing where to hide

[Bridge]
We were two foxes in the dark, all teeth and steam
Woke up alone inside the quietest kind of scream

[Chorus]
You taught the stray dog how to come inside
Showed a night-hunting thing where to hide

[Outro]
Just a coyote...
Blinking on the screen.
