Corners aren’t too bad to stand in When you have nowhere to go The clock will be your only friend When you’re sitting there alone The faces in the pictures Pose dusty in delight They bury their eyes into yours Try to take out all your light The doors are getting smaller The walls are closing in Your fears are getting taller Your worlds coming to an end Your fingertips go through What wasn’t even there Your future and your new Things that never go somewhere Sit still and let it drown you Your day has nearly come Time is the woman in the shoe She’s whipped you and you’re done

The Ghost In The Shoe
Corners aren’t too bad to stand in When you have nowhere to go The clock will be your only friend When you’re sitting there alone The faces in the pictures Pose dusty in delight They bury their eyes into yours Try to take out all your light The doors are getting smaller The walls are closing in Your fears are getting taller Your worlds coming to an end Your fingertips go through What wasn’t even there Your future and your new Things that never go somewhere Sit still and let it drown you Your day has nearly come Time is the woman in the shoe She’s whipped you and you’re done
