All at once you are soft around the edge
No one will hold the door for you
Your vessel seems emptier these days
You no longer play the part
Still your heart is beating like a drum
And you’re naked laying quiet on the floors
All at once these ghosts surround your home
Bringing silence, ambience and grief
Come quick, enlighten
Bringing science and grace
Awake now, you’re sleeping
I’m lying down in my grave
We played red light/ green light in the back seat of our car
As Children it didn’t mean a thing
Now we’re older and our backs are giving out
From the years and carelessness of love
I’ve chosen not to build a castle
I’ve chosen the war
These street lights and memories will fade
I’m laying down in my grave
