Leaving the Porch Light for No One - Zyric Kane

The neighbor's dog stops barking at the gate
Street is a river of cooling black slate
I'm standing in the kitchen with my hand on the switch
Torn between the safety and the sting of the itch
I promised I'd be here a beacon in the dark
A steady glowing ember from a long-extinguished spark
With the moth against the screen the only guest tonight
Tapping out a rhythm in the yellow ember light
I'm just leaving the porch light on for no one
Counting the ways that I'm finally outrun
A signal to a ship that is already sunk
A high-voltage habit a memory drunk
The electric meter spinning like a frantic silver
All the distance between us tearing the map apart
It's a beautiful waste a bright highlight
Burning a hole in the middle of the sky
Maybe you stranger see it from the road
And think there's warmth in this heavy dark abode
They'll see the golden rectangle against the cedar wood
Can't imagine a welcome where a goodbye once stood
The hallway is empty and the deadbolt is thrown
I'm guarding a kingdom of shadow and bone
I'm paying the bill for a ghost who doesn't care
To find their way back through the cold empty air
If I flip it to off then the house is truly dead
If I leave it to on then I'm trapped in my head
The filament is thinning it's a matter of time
Before the darkness claims every last line
Yeah I'm just leaving the porch light on for no one
Counting the ways that I'm finally outrun
It's a signal to a ship that is already sunk
A high-voltage habit a memory drunk
The electric meter spinning like a frantic silver
All the distance between us tearing the map apart
It's a beautiful waste a bright highlight
Burning a hole in the middle of the sky
Yuhuu
Huuuu huuuu
Uh huu
Click no not yet
Wait for the grit
Still burning
It's still there
But nobody's coming and nobody's there
The sound of a single long-distance cricket sure
