Lyrics
The ceramic on this Kearney fuse is cold as a December sheet.
I'm up here forty feet, tracing wires down Division street.
Every window's dark but one, a blue-white television gleam,
And I start swapping out the parts of you inside this waking dream.
[Chorus]
If I forget the way you'd hum when you were painting in the hall,
And I don't see your '98 Tacoma when the twilight starts to fall,
Have I just saved myself, or have I torn your ghost apart?

Have I just saved myself, or have I torn your ghost apart?
Just a salvage title memory with a junkyard heart.
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
My momma worked her fingers raw to scrub our history clean.
Maybe erasing hurt's the only kindness that you've ever seen.
[Outro]
Yeah, a salvage title memory...
Hope you'd say it's good enough.
