I died in the house I grew up in
Laughter stuck in the plaster of those white walls
Every inch I grew chiseled into the frame around the door
They tore it down
So now
I don't grow
No, I don't grow anymore
My body lies facing the sky in the backyard
Every bone in the overgrown web of weeds
There's a name I knew that's carved into an ancient evergreen
There was a time it once was mine
Now it's all
It's all that I'll ever be
I swear the lights were on
And the bed was unmade
And the toys were all strewn on the rug in the room
Where I used to play
I was alive back then
Not just trying to breathe
Now I'm tied to the past
And I'm paralyzed forced to watch everyone leave
Nobody knows that she's cold and alone
Stuck in sepia tone memories
Set the rubble on fire
As a funeral pyre
For the little kid I used to be
Nobody knows that she's cold and alone
Stuck in sepia tone memories
Set the rubble on fire
As a funeral pyre
For the little kid I used to be
