Come repaired Only to be taken apart again This house is no longer A home for you You there, rusting away Atop a dusty window sill Looking out through broken glass At Memory lane There is no medicine for your pain No pill to take this time You will not sleep here You will not dream here You will breathe here Inhale the bitter past You will walk barefoot Through these solemn halls You will cut your hands On sharp words that still linger On the ancient air Toxicity See these colors and remember The paint tells a different story Rotten wood drives you insane Welcome back to termite hindsight This place is no longer a home A cemetery rests here Ghosts live here now You don't belong here

Memory Lane
Come repaired Only to be taken apart again This house is no longer A home for you You there, rusting away Atop a dusty window sill Looking out through broken glass At Memory lane There is no medicine for your pain No pill to take this time You will not sleep here You will not dream here You will breathe here Inhale the bitter past You will walk barefoot Through these solemn halls You will cut your hands On sharp words that still linger On the ancient air Toxicity See these colors and remember The paint tells a different story Rotten wood drives you insane Welcome back to termite hindsight This place is no longer a home A cemetery rests here Ghosts live here now You don't belong here
