The dimly black craggy door That hides bottomless secrets Opens and closes with hollow cruelty And is silent as the moon
So difficult it is to knock and let myself in Pushing is useless, like pulling the trigger with the safety on I have dreams of passing the threshold And scream “Echo” in that empty room
Hearing nothing in return This is where I awaken, a dream in a dream All the lies I’ve seen and wear as my skin A fabulous mask without eyes or a mouth
My house is painted a rainbow of monochrome One door, Two windows, A chimney and a garden gnome. It is where you will find me Hidden away under the floorboards
Looking through the cracks of gleaming pine Shaped like man White satin sheets to comfort me And a new suit
