lyrics

How much sorrow can be fit into a heart?
How much emptiness does it take to fill up a home until theres
no space left but out?
Bubbling Under doors and creeping through yellowed panelling,
I dug into my wall,
like I dug into my arm,
like I dug into my smile
and I found tattoo needles and old coins.
I'm not the only one that tried stabbing my way through all this plaster and guilt,
only to find winter and sea salt on the other side.
You can't buy your way out.
Only buy more time.
Until a sense of hopelessness moves in
and your left with salt water and asbestos covering your face.
This is an empty house.
No one lives here.
How could you call this living?
And I'll sit here,
in my stained glass window,
like a gender jack'o'lantern
and wait for you to come home
and light my candle.
