Ashes sleep on the window frame
Crumpled notes whisper my name
The ceiling leaks, like bleeding veins
I trace the cracks, they spell your face
All these ghosts wear my clothes
Breathing dust from broken hopes
I light a match just to see
If the shadows still bleed for me
This room smells like yesterday
Like all the things I threw away
Perfume of regret and rain
Stained on the walls, carved in my brain
And I
I can't wash it out
I can't burn it down
It just stays, it just stays
Photographs with hollow eyes
Screaming through the alibis
I breathe it in, it tastes like rust
Love decays and turns to dust
I lit the past but it won’t ignite
Dead stars flicker in plain sight
The silence hums, the static sings
I drown in the echoes of everything
This room smells like yesterday
Like all the words we didn’t say
Cigarette burns on my skin
Remind me where we used to begin
It never leaves
It never fades
This room smells like yesterday
