lyrics

I can see that new day coming
I can feel that old one end
I fold my hands now a little bit tighter
I let the news sink further in

I let the ash build a little bit longer
And form a layer like a second coat
Write on my arms everything I believe in
Write on the walls everything I don’t

This house was alive but now its only a frame
It was a shelter now it’s just nothing new under the sun
I’ll hold the boards in place with the weight of all that shame
I’ll measure twice and then I’ll cut it once

I wait above the door in the hallway
I watch the line as it passes below
I take a sip and I let it settle
I hold it tight then I let it go

I go and stand in front of the entrance
I let the spirits do their best
The letters bleed into one another
When it starts to get blurry’s when it reads the best
