Lyrics
Leo, the dial tone from the kitchen landline
Is a flatline hum at 3:47, October-kind.
The linoleum's cold on my bare feet again,
And I'm mapping the cracks where the atrophy gets in.
Your voice is a phantom limb I can't shake,
The sympathetic tremor a body shouldn't make.
(Beat Switch / Spoken-Word Interlude - Filtered, distant male voice)
"Hey, June. Just... checking in. Call me back when you can. Sorry."
[Chorus]
And I won't cry for you on the telephone,
I'm saving all my anger for being alone.
This isn't your grief, this isn't your pain to mend,
It's just the cochlear static at the very end.
[Verse 2]
I remember your hands, how they knew how to grip
The steering wheel of that Pinto with the busted lip.
Steady and sure, not a falter in sight,
Just the ‘check engine’ glow in the sodium light.
You said, "I don't know what to say," and that's the truest part,
Like trying to suture a stopped-beating heart.
[Chorus]
And I won't cry for you on the telephone,
I'm saving all my anger for being alone.
This isn't your grief, this isn't your pain to mend,
It's just the cochlear static at the very end.
[Bridge]
Did you think I'd dissolve? Just a saline solution?
A textbook case of a noble dissolution?
My hands still know how to make a fist, you know.
[Outro]
Just the static.
Just the static at the end.
