12 12 SKINNY'S

Uh

Irene in my head like a looping dream

Every little motion, every silent scream

Uh, walking through the smoke in a broken town

Irene's voice got me feeling so drowned

Uh, eyes so cold but her words so warm

Every conversation like a quiet storm

Uh, can't escape her, can't delete the trace

Irene living in a shadowed place

Uh, nights get long when her name comes through

Haunting melodies I can't undo

Uh, she was light in the middle of rain

Holding her name like a scar in my brain

Uh, backseat stories in a rusted ride

Secrets spilled that we used to hide

Uh, now I'm staring at a street with no signs

Irene playing back in loops and lines

Uh, empty bottles and a half-filled soul

Trying to fix pieces I can't control

Uh, she danced like fire in a winter coat

Every memory now stuck in my throat

Uh, I wrote poems just to ease that burn

But Irene's name still takes its turn

Uh, can't rewind, can't press stop

Love like hers make the cold world drop

Uh, one more night with the echo inside

Irene still rides where my fears reside

Uh, she a ghost but she feels so real

Presence in the dark that I always feel

Uh, letters never sent, tears never dried

Holding onto lies that I justified

Uh, Irene, you the calm and the riot

Love loud, then disappear quiet

Uh, back on this path with no headlights

Hoping I see you in my dreams tonight

Uh, Irene on my skin like ink

Every time I breathe, I stop and think

Uh, no calls, no signs, no return

But the lesson she gave still burn

Uh, found peace in a lie she sold

Irene's touch still icy cold

Uh, no hate, just a hollow frame

A silhouette dancing in the rain

Uh, one last word that I'll never send

Irene in my head, beginning to end

Uh, Irene in my head, beginning to end
