Who Knows You

​In the fall I'm your dead leaf
the color you didn't see
Against all of my instincts I will call

In the winter I'm your ghost 
the one you walk through most
The place on your floor that catches all your clothes 

When you are sober and couldn't be colder, who knows you?
When your heart is sedated and you're fully naked, who knows you?

Let me scrape all of the rust from your soul,
 then I'll disappear like the tracks in the snow.

In the summer I'm your shade
your tee shirt in the rain 
Your seasonal anesthetic for your pain. 

When you are sober and couldn't be colder, who knows you?
When your heart is sedated and you're fully naked, who knows you?

Let me scrape all of the rust from your soul,
 then I'll disappear like the tracks in the snow.

Remember what I said 
at the foot of your bed
I'm just your season

And you are the hand in my ribcage
pulling me closer into myself
I hate 
that I can't breathe the same 
Do your lungs still burn for me

When you are sober and couldn't be colder, who knows you?
When your heart is sedated and you're fully naked, who knows you?

I do.
