Safe As House

I like looking at the sky

As the wind plays through

The skirts of the trees

The silence knows

How afraid we are of it

Cherished memories

Bleed and bloom

Our secrets like seeds

Get swept up and carried through

Our neighborhood

Safe as houses, tuck me in

Daylight waits for no man

You're still young and breathing's easy

Suck it in, what a waste, this façade

What a pity we've come this far

The rain will fall and baptize

Our strongholds, our sheltered lives

Closed blinds, drawn curtains

And vinyl floors can't hide

Sane memories

Bleed and bloom

Our secrets like weeds

Creeps up to the roof

Of our neighborhood

Safe as houses, tuck me in

Daylight waits for no man

You're still young and breathing's easy

Suck it in, what a waste, this façade

What a pity we've come this far

Our luscious denial

Our devoured minds

Our thoughts remain impotent

Our pillows stay fertile

Safe as houses, tuck me in

Daylight waits for no man

You're still young and breathing's easy

Suck it in, what a waste, this façade

What a pity we've come this far

What a pity we've come this far
