A House Just Creaks

The rapture is in the sink

And the war on terror just started in my knees

The night is gluttonous

It turns here inside out

Wood and brick this house is a chew toy

I’ve lost it in the corners now

The moon is almost finished now

What’s that? Even the house hiccups

I’m making chemo patients jealous with the hair that I’ve

Pulled out

You’re dope I’m a fiend I just want to get strung out

My heart can be callous but my mind is obscene

And if you know what I mean

I’ll make you half and half

The night I’ve been getting drunk

Drunk on all this noise I’m not hearing

I just think I’m perceiving

Humbly waiting

Waiting for the meeting

For the meaning

What’s that?

 

A house just creaks.
