In the warmth of your car
You arrive at an empty bar
Where the decor commits
Every artistic sin
Where buildings rise high
And carve up the evening sky
Untethered from purpose
Yet still guarded, as we begin
I have no idea if you still drink
If you do, raise a gla** here with me
I've watched you ache
And you've watched me hesitate
We've both brimmed with words while
Sitting wordless and reserved
But let's not compare notes
On who has hurt who the most
On this anniversary
Of a greater violence endured
Ghosts of squatters that we built this with
Weave through barricades, rubble and mist
So arranged at the foot of these graves
All our petty concerns drift away
So let this monstrous and clotted spite
Be abolished from all hearts tonight
