lyrics
I lose you every day,
You find me every evening,
Laughing through the drywall,
Wrapping on the ceiling.
Peering through a mirror
Through eyes I thought were mine,
You left the world’s worst map,
I’m running circles all the time.
I hate this place,
Cracks form - they spread - they splay,
She says it’s disease,
Tracing my face with her fingers-
Swears she sees
The old man still alive...
Menacing but frail.
The boy who’s trapped inside,
Gaunt and trembling pale,
With sordid tales to tell -
And borrowed eyes...
Jagged slab of concrete
With tree roots poking through,
She says the house is haunted...
Is it me or you?
Whispering through the air ducts,
We don’t heed your advice,
You curse by slamming doors,
You wink with flickering lights.
