this town, we borrowed time in burned out basements
this town, we fell asleep in cuffed blue jeans
subsisting solely off kombucha and regret
smoking hand-cut packs of lavender cigarettes
six months, we fell in love, we kissed our demons
one year, we drowned our dreams in sweet caffeine
and all my friends live at the bottom of the Gunk
stick your toe in, then you're sinking, you're sunk
working, late at night to stay in college
saw you, walking home after my shift,
crept a chill I'd never felt in my bones
glad you didn't see me run the long way home
