lyrics

past the watercolor house and lurking under evening's den
we ran along the garden grove and peeked above the windowsill.
a pack of dogs came leaping by.
they kissed us clean then disappeared.
a child saw me squirming in the bed of thorns i made for myself.
i found the other missing boy sleeping in a hollowed oak tree.
i ran my fingers through his hair and kissed him on the cheek for you.

the birds sang all throughout the night
a man rushed home with flowers
it rained upon the stepping stones
and the pitter-patter lulled me to sleep
i dreamt of what i left behind
and what i forgot to take with me
my ribs protect a hornet's nest and selfishness
i wonder how far ill get away from home this time
before i turn my heels and scream
these people aren't nice to me
and i've been nothing but quiet

now someone's inside the house
and they're coming up the stairs to kill me
i watched you frolic in the yard
where everything was blossoming for you
i'm getting nervous
i've been making beds i'll never get to sleep in
i'm crawling through the prison
in the next world i'll be something far less vicious
