Halley

So scared you'll get sick, but not 'cause you'd be hurting

You will cease to exist before resembling a burden

Felt safe from above, you are Halley's Comet

To see you just once, I'd wait a lifetime, I promise

Terrified of reaching out when it's nothing you can say out loud

Don't tell me the worst will pass

Just how long the longing will last

All the mean bones in your body are dissolving

You're half as harmful when you leave

Pray your service lands on a leap year

You want no one to be there

Your ghost felt guilty when they grieved

And if these walls could talk

I think they'd start to question

Why I just stare at them all

So scared you'll get sick, but not 'cause you'd be hurting

You will cease to exist before resembling a burden

Felt safe from above, you are Halley's Comet

Safe from above

To see you just once, I'd wait a lifetime, I promise

Your greatest fear is someone taking care of you

But that's what I was made to do

Your freckles will disappear when the sun starts to set too soon

All the mean bones in your body are dissolving

You're half as harmful when you leave

Pray your service lands on a leap year

You want no one to be there

Your ghost felt guilty when they grieved

Do you take the credit or the blame

All the mean bones in your body are dissolving

Whenever you hear my name?

Either way, you sculpted me as your own, oh

You're half as harmful when you leave

Take the credit or the blame

Pray your service lands on a leap year

Whenever you hear my name

You want no one to be there

Either way, you sculpted me as your own, oh

Your ghost felt guilty when they grieved
