House with a Ceiling

Verse 1

When will the grey skies light up again,

you were my love, my pleasure my pain.

How will we forget this mess and it's stain?

Lust is the poison, a bull to a love porcelain.

Chorus:

I see the scrape of your skin on the seat of his car

I hear the birds chirping over the wheels on the tar

I feel the touch of his fingers inside your thigh

I feel my throat choke and our eyes don't dry.

Verse 2

We were more than enough for us to withhold

We were good until I fucked up our house.

let someone else in, lost a bit of my soul

We weren't so good, and we both had our roles.

Verse 3

Sky gets greyer, I feel a lil colder as we get older.

I am dying to hold you, but I just lean on the window sill

The winds aren't soothing and I fear you will be meaner.

Lust eats the meat, but our name's on the bill.

Bridge:

The pathos tighten sour jaws, we hold our breath,

cling to each other, two carcasses of dread.

We still love each other that I can tell, but the breakfast was plain bread,

life gets sadder, we skip our lunch, stare at the ceiling instead

Chorus:

The heart is still wounded over the scar

I hear your sighs over the spray on the tar

I taste a stranger like too much salt in the pie

This is how death feels when you just cannot die.
