House - The Ophelias

The gaps between us are becoming more apparent

I still think about the way you used to look at me

Train wired cross like graphs overhead

Sun on my skin from the window shining in

Small red house living in my bloodstream

A home for the ghosts that live there

Welcome and happy, strange blue cold

You say I’m heartless, I say I’m safe for good

I pass your house

Driving downtown

You’re never home

Getting beat up on your way home from grade school

Walk fast with your hands where they can be seen

You’re a statue of David in a rainstorm

Jesus Christ, there are so many people in the world

Tie a knot to keep from falling

Pulling my hair back cause you like my neck

Have you been sleeping enough lately?

Sometimes, I hate you but you know I care

We’re older now

You might find out

You tore my mouth

You wore me down
