I hate my house Every corner every corridor I hate the doorknobs, hate the windows Despise the bump on the kitchen floor Every drip of the bathroom tap is agony The backyard and every tree I can't stand the way it screeches Against the lightest breeze I hate the chairs, I hate the tables Light bulbs, curtains, endless stains Sockets stuffed with cables Set fire to my brain I hate the way my house stares at me I wish it would just stop The wallpaper I have memorised Is now my life's' backdrop The doors slam against my hands The shower burns my feet My heavy mind with all its' might Runs up and down my street My heart is fixed by every string I'm sewn into the thick carpet I'm baked onto the plates I will never ever leave, this house that I hate

This house that I hate
I hate my house Every corner every corridor I hate the doorknobs, hate the windows Despise the bump on the kitchen floor Every drip of the bathroom tap is agony The backyard and every tree I can't stand the way it screeches Against the lightest breeze I hate the chairs, I hate the tables Light bulbs, curtains, endless stains Sockets stuffed with cables Set fire to my brain I hate the way my house stares at me I wish it would just stop The wallpaper I have memorised Is now my life's' backdrop The doors slam against my hands The shower burns my feet My heavy mind with all its' might Runs up and down my street My heart is fixed by every string I'm sewn into the thick carpet I'm baked onto the plates I will never ever leave, this house that I hate
