Severance Hum

[Verse 1]
The blue light from my phone on the passenger seat
Paints your name, Jesse, over the cracks in the street
It's 2 AM on a Tuesday, the week of the first frost
Just a ghost in the glass, counting up what I lost

[Chorus]
I HELD MY THUMB OVER YOUR NAME
AND WATCHED THE WHOLE DAMN GARDEN CHANGE
I pulled the root, I severed the feed
Planted silence where you used to be

[Verse 2]
Remember that freight train past the quarry pond?
You said, "Bet it's headed somewhere we don't belong"
The screen felt cold when I finally pressed
Left a blank, fallow space where your number was blessed

[Chorus]
I HELD MY THUMB OVER YOUR NAME
AND WATCHED THE WHOLE DAMN GARDEN CHANGE
I pulled the root, I severed the feed
Planted silence where you used to be

[Bridge]
It's a clean kinda hurt, a surgical hum
This strange new quiet now that the signal's gone numb
No plot of red clay, no body to bury
Just static I killed in my phone's cemetery

[Outro]
The garden changed
The garden changed
