Shadows move in to your house

And I can see

You try to shield them from knowing

How opaque it is this time

Its been a while since a good day crossed the threshold of your house

I won't ask anything of you

Except have you eaten and have you slept?

Twist away from their words

And curl back into your own

Shut all doors

Slam window pans

Let not in the light to taunt you

No summer breeze to squeeze

A sunniness out of pools that run dry

I know you're tired

I know there's nothing left

I won't ask anything of you

Except have you eaten and have you slept?

Twist away from their words

And back into me

I know you ripple with nostalgia for who they used to be

Its autumn again my body is not my friend again

Time draws on in minutes and your run out of ink

Did he come here to be a father or show you how he could sink

He gave you this pain in your chest it flares up when

You are only trying your best to take time to rest
