Brairot

[Verse 1]
Brairot
Name on the back of my hand
Scrawled in that crooked blue ink
Smudged like a half-faded plan

You were the dare in my throat
Word I could barely pronounce
Tasted like trouble and gold
Then you were gone from the house

[Chorus]
Brairot
You burn in the gaps of my memory
Brairot
You live in the lies that I tell to me
Call your name in the dark
Till it frays at the edge of my heart
Brairot
Why do you echo so slow
So heavy

[Verse 2]
Brairot
I see you in flashes
Backseat
December
The glass in your lashes
Laughing at nothing
That reckless tilt of your chin
Every street sign sounds like where we’ve been

Tried to forget with new faces
New bars
You’re still the stain on the seat of my car
Every wrong turn
Every side road I cross
Spells out your letters in loss

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If I could spell you out different
Would you stay this time
If I could tear up that script where we missed it
Would you still cross that line

[whispered vocals]
Brairot
Soft like a secret I can’t outgrow

[Chorus]
