Water Running

all of the lights turn on when you say my

name

i've spent years chasing down this feeling let the electric bill run till im out of cash and light all the candles with a stove of gas

i will keep you in a room in my brain, set up a corner for you so you can stay,

stay

i will show you the bruises on me and we will keep the water running

remembering ants in a line, between the tiles

searching for food in an apartment that

caught on fire

remembering monsters below, my feet off the bed

much too old for that thought, but there's

safety in it

i will keep you in a room in my brain, set up a corner for you, so you can stay,

stay

i will show you the bruises on me and we will keep the water running

wonder if i stood still maybe i'd remember

more

you make the ache in my bones a little less

sore

know i don't need you but that makes me

want you more

i will keep you in a room in my brain, set up a corner for you, so you can stay,

stay

i will show you the bruises on me and we will keep the water running
