Haiku

Intro

Yeah, yeah, haiku, haiku

Verse

Black hair, pale face, dark eyes like a storm

Quiet in the hallway but the words hit like thunder

Reads her poems in the graveyard, keeps her secrets warm

Clyde tried to win her, she just turned and walked under

Lucy’s best friend, always dressed in black lace

Never smiles too wide, never laughs out loud

But when the lights go low and the candles replace

She drops a line that makes the whole room bow

Pre-chorus

She’s the quiet in the chaos, the shadow in the sun

Every word she writes cuts deeper than a gun

Chorus

Haiku, haiku, midnight in the middle of the day

Haiku, haiku, says it all in just three lines, hey

Haiku, haiku, heart colder than the winter snow

Haiku, haiku, but the fire’s burning down below

Verse

Hangs with the morticians club, writes about the end

“Life is but a petal falling in the rain”

Wore the same black ribbon since she was a kid

Never needs a spotlight, she just owns the pain

Met Lincoln at the comic store, barely said a word

But the silence said more than the pages ever could

Lucy calls her sister even though they’re not blood

Two dark souls dancing where the bright ones never stood

Pre-chorus

She’s the quiet in the chaos, the shadow in the sun

Every word she writes cuts deeper than a gun

Chorus

Haiku, haiku, midnight in the middle of the day

Haiku, haiku, says it all in just three lines, hey

Haiku, haiku, heart colder than the winter snow

Haiku, haiku, but the fire’s burning down below

Bridge

(haiku) three beats and she’s gone

(haiku) leaves you hanging on

(haiku) black boots on the floor

(haiku) want a little more

Chorus

Haiku, haiku, midnight in the middle of the day

Haiku, haiku, says it all in just three lines, hey

Haiku, haiku, heart colder than the winter snow

Haiku, haiku, but the fire’s burning down below

Haiku, haiku (haiku)

Haiku, haiku (haiku)
