Harmony Woods - Rittenhouse Lyrics

meet me at our bench in rittenhouse square
i’ll bring a trembling hand gripping a coffee cup,
dripping everywhere
blistering my fingers with the palest shade of shit
three creams, no sugars, the only way you take it

you ask what this is all about
“why did you ask me to come out
this early in the morning?”
i humor a forewarning

i’m staring at the ground
even the pigeons are cringing now

i take a deep breath and muster out,
“i’m late in every sense of the word
i’m sick and it’s not stopping
something inside is growing
i figured it’s about time that you heard”

you’re staring at the ground
even the pigeons are cringing now
no language to be found
even the pigeons are cringing now

i’m despondent, i’m impatient
i inflict the final blow
“it’s okay, i’m getting rid of it,
i just thought that you should know”

we’re frozen on our bench in rittenhouse square
