This House Unhomed

This House Unhomed - Sorry About Dresden

Did the name that you changed

Make a difference

In the way the mirror shows your face

Is it the sunlight you despise

Or is every morning a surprise

Did the place where you moved

Leave you wanting

Something more than a fresh

Coat of paint

Is every room a prison

Is every room a cell

You can't escape the faulty memories

Of years before

You pray and plot most every night

Your escape to distant shores

But you can't leave you won't leave

Did the ache ever leave your body

From where your lover pressed

Into your skin

Is every breath still a secret

Is every breath a chore

You can't escape the faulty memories

Of years before

You pray and plot most every night

Your escape to distant shores

But you can't leave you won't leave

As you drift into sleep where you lie

But don't dream this fear

Somewhere deep

Your clock can't keep the time so well

It ticks so slow the minutes swell

You can't leave

You won't leave

You can't leave you won't leave

Is the taste in your mouth still bitter

Or did you choose to forget everything
