Cracked Screen Serenade

Sitting on the porch under a flickering bulb

Cheap yellow glow keeping shadows at bay

Cracked phone screen face down on the wood

Waiting for a ring that won't come anyway You heard every word

through the drywall, didn't you?

(didn't you?)

Now we're just waiting for the sky to turn blue

Call-and-response in the quiet room!

(No

answer) Waiting for a spark to clear the gloom!

(No answer) Only the cracks in the glass tonight!

Your roommate's shadow is crossing the floor

They heard the silence behind the closed door

Staring at the glass with the spiderweb lines Reading between the unwritten

signs

Call-and-response in the quiet room!

(No answer) Waiting for a spark to clear the gloom!

(No answer) Only the cracks in the glass tonight!

Cracks in the glass...

(No answer) No answer...
