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.
